TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bidirectional stretching, in particular, especially relates to a sheet metal bidirectional stretching stress instability judgment method based on load control. BACKGROUND
[0002] When carrying out manufacturing process design of a vehicle body part, a finite element analysis software is generally used to perform forming simulation design on the part, potential various safety risks in the part forming process are analyzed and verified according to the mechanical property attributes of the material, if the stress or strain generated by the part during simulation analysis exceeds the mechanical property range of the material, the part has safety risks. However, the material mechanical property parameters input during the finite element forming analysis are obtained under unidirectional tensile test or bulging test, and these material parameters are quite different from the stress state exhibited during sheet metal forming, so it is bound to have a large error to use them as the risk judgment basis during sheet metal forming analysis, which will lead to underestimation or overestimation of the forming performance of the material. Therefore, it is very important to develop a sheet metal bidirectional stretching stress instability judgment method based on load control, which can construct the complex mechanical response and two-dimensional stress space of the sheet metal under forming conditions.
[0003] At present, when analyzing the forming of a part, the unidirectional tensile curve and bulging limit curve of the material are imported into the finite element software, and the fracture strain of the material generated in the unidirectional tensile test and bulging limit test is used as the judgment condition, if the strain in the finite element analysis exceeds the fracture strain in the material test, the sheet metal has a risk of cracking, otherwise, the sheet metal forming is safe. However, during the forming of a part, the unidirectional tensile fracture strain and bulging fracture strain obtained by the traditional test method often do not reach the fracture strain, and the material cracks prematurely, and then the material is repeatedly adjusted or replaced, so it can be seen that if the results of the traditional test are used to analyze the forming results of the sheet metal, there will be a misjudgment, which seriously affects the design and manufacturing cycle of the part, and cannot meet the application requirements of engineering practice and scientific research.
[0004] In summary, the purpose of the present application is to accurately judge the potential safety risks such as cracking defects that may occur during the forming analysis of a vehicle body part, and to propose a sheet metal bidirectional stretching stress instability judgment method based on load control, which can conform to the stress state during sheet metal forming, and use the evolution law of the sheet metal in bidirectional stretching test to predict the instability of the sheet metal, so as to improve the judgment accuracy of part forming analysis and widely meet the engineering practical needs.

Calculate the difference between the strain of the inner contour edge and the strain of the outer contour edge obtained in step 3 in the four tensile directions. When the strain difference between the two reaches 0.8-1.2% of the maximum strain of the inner contour edge, and the strain of the inner contour edge generated at the current moment has reached 9.5-10.5% of its maximum strain, it is considered that the material has become unstable at the current moment.
[0023] 5. If the strain difference between the inner and outer contour line strains reaches 0.8-1.2% of the maximum strain of the inner contour line, and the current strain of the inner contour line is less than 9.5-10.5% of the maximum strain of the inner contour line, then after the inner contour line strain reaches 9.5-10.5% of its maximum strain, when the strain difference between the inner and outer contour line strains reaches 0.8-1.2% of the maximum strain of the inner contour line, the material becomes unstable at the current moment.

Following the steps above, continue to conduct biaxial tensile tests at other ratios using load or stress control methods to obtain the instability stress of the material under different tensile ratios. Input the obtained instability stress into the finite element software. When the biaxial stress during finite element analysis is lower than the instability stress, the sheet metal forming is safe; otherwise, the sheet metal will be at risk of failure.
[0024] Example 1: 1. Based on the test requirements, the tensile ratio of DP780 steel under load control mode is determined to be 4:1. At least one biaxial tensile specimen is prepared according to the tensile ratio. The outline shape of the overlapping area of the two tensile axes of the biaxial tensile specimen is determined to be an irregular shape.

Finally, the outline shapes of the inner and outer rectangles are formed in the overlapping area of the specimen. 2. Marking points are affixed inside the overlapping area of the specimen as determined in step 1. Outer contour marking points 1-4 are affixed to the outer rectangular edge of the overlapping area, ensuring that these points are on the intersecting axes of the four tensile arms of the specimen.

Take the inner tangent rectangle to the center of the sample based on 50% of the length and width of the rectangle, and finally form the contour shape of the inner and outer two rectangles in the overlapping area of the sample; 2. Paste the mark points in the sample overlap area determined in step 1, paste the outer contour mark points 1-4 on the outer contour rectangular edge line of the sample overlap area respectively, while ensuring that the outer contour mark points 1-4 are on the axis where the four stretching arms of the sample intersect, then paste the inner contour mark points 5-8 on the inner contour rectangular edge line of the sample overlap area respectively, while ensuring that the inner contour mark points 5-8 are on the axis where the four stretching arms of the sample intersect, and finally paste the center mark point 9 on the center point of the sample overlap area, while ensuring that the center mark point 9 is on the intersection of the two stretching axes of the sample, as shown in FIG. 3. Figure 3 3. Start the biaxial stretching test in a stress control mode according to the stretching ratio determined in step 1, and output the outer contour edge line strain-time curve and the inner contour edge line strain-time curve in four stretching directions respectively. 4.

[0028] 5. When the strain difference between the inner contour edge line strain and the outer contour edge line strain of 9-7 and 9-3 reaches 0.8% of the maximum strain of the inner contour edge line, the inner contour edge line strain generated at the current time is less than 9.5% of the maximum strain of the inner contour edge line, then after the inner contour edge line strain reaches 9.5% of the maximum strain, when the strain difference between the inner contour edge line strain and the outer contour edge line strain reaches 0.8% of the maximum strain of the inner contour edge line, the material loses stability at the current time 468.1 seconds. In this way, the instability time of the material in each stretching direction 9-6, 9-2 and 9-8, 9-4 is obtained, as shown in Table 2. Table 2 Instability time acquisition (DP590)
