Localized necking in thin metal sheets is analyzed by using the M–K-model approach, and
the effect of a number of different non-proportional strain paths prior to the occurrence flow …

The theory of strain localization is reviewed with reference both to local necking in sheet
metal forming processes and to more general three dimensional shear band localizations …

For thin metal sheets subject to stretching under various in-plane tensile stress histories,
localized necking is analyzed by using the M–K-model approach, and forming limit diagrams …

Localized necking is one of the most frequently observed failure mechanisms in sheet
forming processes. The forming limit diagram (FLD) characterizes the sheet metal …

In the present paper the diffuse and localized necking models according to Swift [Swift, HW,
1952. Plastic instability under plane stress, Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids …

Formability of sheet metal is usually assessed by the useful concept of forming limit
diagrams (FLD) and forming limit curves (FLC) represent a first safety criterion for deep …

Theoretical prediction of forming limit strain of sheet metal is developed in the framework of
the three-dimensional general bifurcation theory. The onset of the three-dimensional …

For elastic-plastic sheets under biaxial stretching localized necking is investigated assuming
that the material follows a kinematic hardening rule. The investigation is mainly based on the …

In the present work an elastic–plastic constitutive model including mixed isotropic-
distortional hardening is presented. The approach is very simple and requires only …

Plastic flow localization into a narrow band is investigated for a rate-independent
polycrystalline sheet. Strain localization is considered to initiate at a point of bifurcation from …
