On the predictive capabilities of anisotropic yield criteria for metals undergoing shearing deformations

In order to evaluate the predictive capabilities of 3-D anisotropic yield functions for cases when the material axes rotate with the deformation, a rectangular block subjected to constrained simple shearing deformations is considered. The ability of a constitutive model to predict negligible normal stress components, both in and normal to the plane of shearing (regardless of the specimen thickness), is adopted as a measure to test the accuracy …
