Description
Summary:The presented study deals with the FEM simulation of dynamic behaviour of U-profile crash under three point bent loading conditions verified by experimental investigations. The material ductile damage behaviour under wide strain rate region covering 0.001 – 1 000 s-1 was experimentally determined with the use of standard and micro tensile tests (M-TT). DIC systems were used for strain field measurements under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. Based on these experimental data, material model considering ductile damage was established in Abaqus/Explicit code. Additionally, also metallographic investigations were performed for the fracture behaviour description.
