Cold rolled aluminum is a widely used metal in industry. The forming limit diagram (FLD) which is commonly used to predict safe deformation parameters currently fails to predict the uniform elongation after non-proportional strain path often found in industrial operations.
In this work, a non-proportional strain path change in aluminum alloy 3104 going from plane strain tension to uniaxial tension was investigated. Plane strain tensile tests have been carried out to various pre-strains (3%, 6% and 9%), followed by uniaxial tensile tests at various orientation with respect to the tensile direction (0°, 45° and 90°). Digital image correlation (DIC) was employed to analyze the strain distribution in the sample during deformation. The mechanical response was studied as a function of pre-strain and reloading angle to quantify the effect of strain path change on AA3104.
