Abstract: The accurate prediction of fracture behavior is a challenge in metal sheets forming analysis. Experimental evidence shows that ductile fracture strongly depends on the stress state and strain path. As a stress state dependent damage model, the Gissmo includes incremental formulation for the description of material instability and localization, and nonlinear calculation of damage accumulation. It could be used to predict the failure of metal material under different load conditions. Six different shaped specimens which reflect different stress state of 6016 aluminum alloy sheets are performed tests. All the experimental processes are reproduced within the finite element simulation to calibrate the Gissmo damage model parameters. The stamping numerical model of hood inner validation results indicates that the Gissmo damage model predicted results is consistent with the experimental results. Moreover, compared with the traditional forming limit diagram, the Gissmo damage model is more suitable to accurately simulate and predict the fracture behavior of 6016 aluminum alloy sheets for several load paths.
