An Evaluation of Different Plasticity and Failure Laws in Simulating Puncture in 7075-T651 Aluminum.
In this work, various material models were studied for their ability to simulate puncture in a thin aluminum 7075-T651 plate due to low-velocity probe impact. Material models were generated by mixing and matching various work hardening laws with different failure criteria, and several hybrid material models were investigated. Finite element simulations of aluminum impact-response, based on each material model, were employed to predict the energy required for puncture and final plate tear-out geometry. Probes of different size and shape were used to impose various loading regimes, and numerical predictions were compared to experimental results from a previous study. It was found that no single combination of hardening and failure laws yielded universally accurate data, but that several material models could be used more reliably than others. Further, the importance of obtaining unique parameter-sets for work- hardening and failure criteria was illustrated.
