Numerical simulation and experiment of creep aging forming of rotary curved surface parts considering anisotropy
Aiming at the creep aging forming anisotropic problems of aluminum-lithium alloy rotary curved surface parts,the numerical sim-ulation and experimental research on creep aging of rotary curved surface parts based on the Barlat91 yielding anisotropy criterion and creep anisotropy constitutive model were carried out.The simulation results show that plastic deformation occurs in the loading stage of the parts,showing the plastic strain anisotropy phenomenon of -εp45>-εp90>-εp0;the creep strain distribution of the parts considering creep anisotropy be-haviors are significantly changed.Furthermore,through the creep aging forming experiments of rotary curved surface parts,it is found that the established creep anisotropy model is accurate to predict the thickness change and residual stress distribution.Relative to the isotropic mod-el,the overall prediction deviation of the profile accuracy is reduced by 9.3%,and the prediction deviation of the weld edge is reduced by 91.5%,which proves the accuracy and practical application value of the established creep aging anisotropic model of aluminum-lithium alloy.
