Strain hardening under large deformation for AA5182

In this study, an aluminium alloy of AA5182 is taken as the research object to study strain hardening under large plastic deformation. Tensile tests are done for four specimens, including dog-bone specimens, notched specimens, specimens with a central hole and in-plane shear specimens. Bulging tests are also conducted to measure strain hardening under balanced biaxial tension. In addition, an experimental method called in-plane torsion test is also used for shear loading. At least three experiments are completed for each type of specimens along the rolling direction (RD), diagonal direction (TD), and transverse direction (DD). The stroke of each tests is measured by a digital image correlation (DIC) system, and the load-stoke curves were obtained for the tests. Combined with an inverse engineering method, the strain hardening properties are calibrated for the alloy under different loading conditions of shear, uniaxial tension, plane strain tension, and balanced biaxial tension. The strain hardening under various loading conditions is compared and modelled by various yield functions to evaluate their performance. It is concluded that inverse engineering approach is a simple but powerful method to obtain the stress-strain curve up to large plastic deformation. It is also observed that it needs to develop yield functions to model yielding behaviour under complex loading conditions.
