Abstract The local mechanical behaviors of advanced high strength steels undergoing a very large strain from uniform plastic deformation to fracture were investigated with the aid of a measured displacement field and a measurement based FEM. As a measurement method, a digital image grid method (DIGM) was developed and the three-direction transient displacement field on uniaxial tensile test pieces was measured. Combining the measured transient displacement field with the finite element method, a measurement based FEM (M-FEM) was developed for the computation of distribution of the local strains, local stresses and ductile damage accumulation in a More >
