Fig. (a) shows predictions of grain size with known material properties and Fig. (b) shows predictions of grain size with material properties calculated by a new material identification scheme, which is based on AFDEX and HyperStudy. The new scheme needs experimental data as input to identify the material. In this study, the experimental input was…

With the flow stresses obtained by AFDEX MAT, the three tensile tests were analyzed. It was revealed that the predictions are very close to the experiments especially in the plastic region, which implies the accuracy of the approach and AFDEX.

Three typical materials, i.e., SCM435, ESW95 and ESW105 were studied to reveal their flow stress information which is one of material properties for plastic deformation simulation. It is interesting to note that SCM435 is a typical strain hardening material while ESW95 and ESW105, Energy Saver Wires, are of high-strength with negligible strain hardening capability. It…
