Abstract: | The 2xxx aluminium alloys are extensively applied in the aerospace industry due to their lightweight and balanced performance characteristics. However, a comprehensive method for modelling both the anisotropic creep deformation and strengthening behaviour in creep age forming (CAF) for 2xxx aluminium alloys remains lacking. This paper presents a generalised framework for establishing constitutive models capable of describing the anisotropic creep deformation coupled with the microstructure and material strength evolutions during creep-ageing of both the original and the pre-deformed 2xxx series Al alloys. This framework extends the rolling direction-based material model to anisotropic scenarios at varying angles between the loading and rolling directions, by employing the non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS). The details about the anisotropic model calibration and numerical simulation implementation are demonstrated. The feasibility of this method was verified by its application to various 2xxx series aluminium alloys with or without pre-deformation, through constitutive modelling and numerical simulation, with satisfactory agreements between prediction and experimental data. For the first time, the proposed framework provides a generalised routine for establishing anisotropic creep-ageing models for various 2xxx aluminium alloys. |
