Abstract
The aim of this study is the evaluation of the parameters for the material model description in simulation of plasticity and fracture in shearing processes. The experimental measurements and the simulations are performed at room temperature for TWIP steel and 38MnVS6. The behaviour of materials is described using MARC/MENTAT and DEFORM software based on the finite element method. The material model is made up on the basis of tension test. The fracture criteria are based on the experimental failure during tension and torsion tests. The fracture models Normalized Cockcroft-Latham (NCL) and Oyane are used for subsequent simulation of shearing. The description of shearing comprises not only the initiation of a fracture but also the growth of the fracture until the material parts are separated. This issue is solved by means of two numerical methods, the softening and the element deletion.
