- As new and more advanced sheet metal materials are introduced to the market, more accurate techniques for determination of failure limits are needed. One area that needs attention is edge formability, where the ISO-16630 standardized Hole Expansion Test currently is used to express this through the Hole Expansion Ratio. Over the years, this standard has been criticized for producing a large scatter in repeated tests. This paper investigates a new setup for the Hole Expansion Test which introduces draw beads into the setup to ensure sufficient restraining of the specimen during the test in an effort to reduced the scatter. In total 62 tests of a DP800 steel alloy were executed, but a large scatter in the results were still seen. It was therefore concluded that a lack of restraining force in the Hole Expansion Test was not the primary cause of the reported scatter seen in other tests.

- An area in the automotive industry that receives a lot of attention today is the introduction of lighter and more advanced material grades in order to reduce carbon emissions, both during production and through reduced fuel consumption. As the complexity of the introduced materials and component geometries increases, so does the need for more complex failure prediction approaches. A proposed path-independent failure criterion, based on a transformation of the limit curve into an alternative evaluation space, is investigated. Initially, the yield criterion used for this transformation of the limit curve was investigated. Here it was determined that the criterion for the transformation could not be decoupled from the material model used for the simulation. Subsequently, the approach using the transformed limit curve was tested on an industrial case from Volvo Cars, but a successful failure prediction was not obtained. © 2022 The Author(s).

- This study analyses the tensile mechanical behaviour and deformation of neck i.e localization initiation, propagation and fracture of injection-moulded polymer composed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as a function of initial stress triaxiality. Three different specimen geometries namely i) Simple tension, ii) Plane strain and iii) Shear specimens were punched from injection-moulded HDPE plates and tested experimentally in uniaxial tension to introduce different stress triaxialities. These specimen geometries used are standard for the material characterization of sheet metals. However, for plate polymer materials such specimen geometries have not comprehensively been studied earlier. Standard shear specimen geometry has been further optimized in this work using finite element models to restrict unwanted out-of-plane deformations arising at large deformation. The digital image correlation (DIC) technique is used to acquire the full field deformation and in particular the localized strains in the neck region of the specimens. Based on the major-minor strain paths from DIC-measurements stress triaxiality has been calculated. It is challenging to follow the stochastic pattern at larger local strain in DIC and hence the strain at failure has been measured using orthogonal grid lines on the specimen surface. Finally, strains at neck-initiation and failure at three different stress triaxialities are reported for injection-moulded HDPE in two material orientations. It is observed that within the elastic limit the stress triaxialities obtained from the experimental tests were close to the ideal values found in the literature and neck-initiation strain is strongly dependent on the stress triaxiality. However, as neck initiates and propagates, the triaxialities for all geometries shift closer to the measured value in a simple tension specimen i.e. 0.33 limiting the effect of the initial triaxiality on failure strain.
