Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mechanical property testing of metal materials, and particularly relates to a Hill48 yield criterion parameter calibration method based on metal pipes. BACKGROUND

[0002] Metal pipes are widely used in the fields of aerospace, shipbuilding, automobile, building, instruments and meters, etc. due to their advantages of light weight, high strength and toughness, high shock absorption capacity and excellent forming performance. The metal pipes are usually processed through a plastic forming process before use. Defects such as cracking, wrinkling and springback may occur in the plastic forming process, resulting in product scrap. Therefore, it is necessary to predict whether defects will occur in the plastic forming process of the metal pipes before processing, so as to optimize the plastic forming process parameters. The finite element simulation technology is widely used in simulating the plastic forming process of metal pipes due to its high precision and high efficiency. However, the simulation precision is highly dependent on the yield criterion. Therefore, accurate calibration of the yield criterion parameters is crucial to improving the simulation result precision.

[0003] Most of the production processes of metal pipes are rolling, extrusion and drawing, which causes the pipes to exhibit anisotropy in the plastic forming process. Therefore, the Hill48 yield criterion is generally selected to describe the plastic deformation behavior of the pipes. The traditional method for calibrating the Hill48 yield criterion parameters for metal pipes is to select the parameters of the same material plate to replace the parameters of the pipes, or to flatten the pipes and then use the calibration method for the plate to calibrate the parameters. However, plastic deformation may occur in the flattening process of the pipes, which affects the accuracy of the parameters. Therefore, the parameters obtained by the above two methods cannot reflect the true parameters of the pipes. Therefore, how to accurately and effectively calibrate the Hill48 yield criterion parameters for metal pipes is a technical problem to be solved at present. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the application provides a Hill48 yield criterion parameter calibration method based on metal pipes, which comprises the following steps:

Convert the engineering stress-engineering strain curve into a true stress-true strain curve by using formulas 1) and 2), and take the stress when the plastic deformation is 0.2% as the yield stress. Obtain the axial yield stress σ0 from the true stress-true strain curve;

[0006] σ = s (1 + e) 1)

[0007] ε = ln (1 + e) 2)

[0008] wherein σ is the true stress, ε is the true strain, s is the engineering stress, and e is the engineering strain.

[0009] (2) Perform the hoop tensile test of the metal pipe, and obtain the true stress-true strain curve and the hoop yield stress σ 90 ;

[0010] (3) Place a cylindrical mandrel inside the metal pipe, and perform the plane strain state tensile test, and obtain the true stress-true strain curve and the plane strain state axial yield stress σ p , in the process of the plane strain state tensile test, since the strain increment of the sample in the circumferential direction is zero, formula 3) can be obtained:

[0011] 2(F+H)σ q -2Hσ p =0 3)

[0012] Taking the axial yield stress σ0 obtained in step (1) as the reference equivalent stress, formulas 4), 5) and 6) can be obtained:

[0013]

[0014]

[0018] (5) Input the values of Hill48 yield criterion parameters F, G, H and the value of the simulation parameter Z obtained in step (4) into the finite element simulation software to perform axial tensile simulation, the value range of Z is 0.1-3.0, select m groups of Z values between 0.1-3.0, wherein m is a natural number between 30-200, obtain m groups of simulation load displacement curves by simulation, compare the m groups of simulation load displacement curves with the load displacement curve obtained in step (1) respectively, and then based on the GA genetic optimization algorithm, back-calculate the value of the parameter N in the Hill48 yield criterion.

[0019] Further, the Hill48 yield criterion parameter calibration method based on metal pipes is applied to the simulation of wall thickness change rate, cross-section distortion or springback in the material plastic forming process.

[0020] Further, the metal pipe is steel, aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0022] (1) The present application proposes a Hill48 yield criterion parameter calibration method based on metal pipes. Compared with the traditional method, the sample keeps the original circular shape of the metal pipe during the performance test without plastic deformation affecting the test results, so more accurate parameters can be obtained. All tests are tensile tests, which are simple and feasible to operate.

[0023] (2) The Hill48 yield criterion parameter calibration method based on metal pipes proposed by the present application can accurately obtain the parameters F, G, H and N in the Hill48 yield criterion, providing accurate parameters for the simulation of the metal pipe plastic forming process, and further more accurately simulating the plastic deformation behavior of the metal pipe in the bending process, including wall thickness change rate, cross-section distortion or springback, etc., to improve the accuracy of the simulation results.

[0024] (3) The Hill48 yield criterion parameter calibration method based on metal pipes proposed by the present application is suitable for steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and other metal pipes.
