[en] The plastic behavior of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy includes several features as strength differential
effect, anisotropy and yield strength sensitivity to temperature and strain rate. Monotonic tensions in the three orthogonal directions of the material are performed to identify the Hill ’48 yield criterion. Monotonic compression and plane strain tensile tests are also included in the experimental campaign to identify the orthotropic yield criterion of CPB06. An assessment of the two models is done by comparing the yield loci and the experimental data points for different levels of plastic work. A first approach of the damage modelling of the Ti-6AL-4V alloy is investigated with an extended Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman damage model based on Hill ’48 yield criterion. Finite element simulations of the experiments are performed and numerical results allows checking force-displacement curves until rupture and local information like displacement and strain fields. The prediction ability of the Hill ’48, CPB and extended Gurson models are assessed on simple shear and notched tensile tests until fracture.
