In the context of forward bulk extrusion, where product defects are frequently observed, the effect of counter pressure on damage accumulation materializing a Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) approach is presented. A Lemaitre variant damage model accounting for unilateral damage evolution coupled with a multiplicative finite plasticity is utilized for this purpose. After a presentation of the crack governing mechanism, it is demonstrated that application of counter pressure introduces a marked decrease in the central damage accumulation, which in turn increases the formability of the material through keeping the tensile triaxiality in tolerable limits. It is also shown that, for a crack involving process, through systematic increase of the counter pressure, the crack sizes diminish; and at a certain level of counter pressure chevron cracks can be completely avoided.

Application of Continuum Damage Mechanics in discontinuous crack formation: Forward extrusion chevron
Soyarslan, Celal; TEKKAYA, AHMET ERMAN; Akyüz, Uğurhan (2008-06-01)
Materializing Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM), numerical modeling of discrete internal cracks, namely central bursts, in direct forward extrusion process is presented. Accordingly, in a thermodynamically consistent setting, a local Lemaitre variant damage model with quasi-unilateral evolution is coupled with hyperelastic-plasticity. The formulations are constructed in the principal axes where simultaneous local integration schemes are efficiently developed. To this end, the framework is implemented as ABAQ...
Computational Methods for Inclined Cracks in Orthotropic Functionally Graded Materials Under Thermal Stresses
Dağ, Serkan; TOPAL, SERRA (2013-10-03)
This article sets forth two different computational methods developed to evaluate fracture parameters for inclined cracks lying in orthotropic functionally graded materials, that are under the effect of thermal stresses. The first method is based on the J(k)-integral, whereas the second entails the use of the J(1)-integral and the asymptotic displacement fields. The procedures introduced are implemented by means of the finite element method and integrated into a general purpose finite element analysis softw...
Assessment and improvement of elementary force computations for cold forward rod extrusion
Ocal, M; Egemen, N; Tekkaya, AE (2005-06-01)
Two commonly used analytical force computation methods for cold forward rod extrusion are evaluated by means of precise finite element computations. The upperbound model by Avitzur based on the spherical velocity field and the model by Siebel based on a quasi-upper-bound solution are considered. It has been found that the pure deformation forces obtained by summing the ideal force and shear force terms deviate between +25% and -20% from the finite element solutions. Larger deviations, however, occur for the...
Comparison of damage mechanisms in curved composite laminates under static and fatigue loading
Tasdemir, B.; Çöker, Demirkan (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
In this paper, damage progression in curved CFRP composite laminates are experimentally investigated for static and fatigue loadings. Two different cross-ply laminate thicknesses are examined with grouped plies to elucidate the failure mechanisms. A test fixture is designed to apply moment/axial combined loading to curved specimens and DIC method is used to obtain the strain distribution in the curved region until failure. Our major finding is that under fatigue loading, the failure location and mechanism a...
Modeling of localization and necking in dual phase steels through polycrystalline plasticity
Çakmak, Serhat Onur.; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020)
In this thesis, the effect of ferrite crystallographic orientation distribution and other microstructural parameters such as martensite morphology, martensite volume fraction, and ferrite grain size on the plastic deformation, localization, and the necking behavior of dual-phase steels are investigated. Two different type of finite element models, i.e. full size micron-scale polycrystalline samples and polycrystalline Representative Volume Element (RVEs) are built through Voronoi tessellation. Local crystal...
