Modelling of the micro-mechanical behaviour of steel sheets during deep-drawing

This abstract presents a constitutive law based on Taylor's model implemented in our non-linear finite element code LAGAMINE. The yield locus is only locally described and a particular interpolation method has been developed. This local yield locus model uses a discrete representation of the material's texture. The interpolation method is presented and a deep-drawing application is simulated in order to show up the influence of the texture evolution during forming processes.
