This paper deals with the implementation of a constitutive model for the macroscopic deformation behavior of TWIP steels under mechanical loading with the aim of simulating metal forming processes and representing the behavior of TWIP-steel components for example under crash loading - with the Finite Element code LS-DYNA® and refers to our recently published papers: [2],[4],[5]. Within the present paper we focus on the implementation of the model formulated in [2] and its extension to stress dependent twinning effects.enconstitutive modelSimulationTWIP-Steel669Implementation of a constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of TWIP steels and validation simulationsjournal article
