Abstract

The purpose of this research is to predict fracture loci and fracture forming limit diagrams (FFLDs) considering strain rate for aluminum alloy 7050-T7451. A fracture model coupled Johnson-Cook plasticity model was proposed to investigate its strain rate effect. Furthermore, a hybrid experimental-numerical method was carried out to verify the strain rate-dependent fracture model by using fracture points of uniaxial tension, notched tension, flat-grooved tension, and pure shear specimens. The results show that the fracture points are in accordance with the fracture loci and FFLDs under different strain rates. The increasing strain rate decreases the FFLDs of aluminum alloy 7050-T7451. The difference of force-displacement responses under different strain rates is larger for notched tension and pure shear conditions.
