Surfalex HF formability study - Workflow 5 - Simulate Marciniak-Kuczynski

This group of MatFlow workflows is the fifth in a set of eight workflow groups developed during our formability study of the Surfalex HF (AA6016A) material. In these workflows, we used Abaqus to perform deformation of a grooved sheet using the finite element method, for different displacement boundary conditions and different groove angles (relative to the major loading direction). Thus, we performed a numerical Marciniak-Kuczynski analysis on the Surfalex material, which allowed us to predict the forming limit curve. We also include various sensitivity studies.

This workflow can be downloaded and explored in a Jupyter notebook, as explained in the GitHub repository here.
