This study compared experimental test results on punch-loaded unstiffened and stiffened panels with numerical predictions using different localized necking modeling approaches with shell elements. The extended version of the Bressan-Williams-Hill (BWH) criterion, including bending effects and forming-severity concept, yielded improved estimations of fracture initiation with shell elements, while mesh size sensitivity depended on the punch geometry.
This study compared the experimental test results on punch-loaded unstiffened and stiffened panels with numerical predictions using different localized necking modeling approaches with shell elements. The analytical models that were derived by Bressan-Williams-Hill (BWH) were used in their original form and extended version, which considers non-proportional loading paths while using the forming-severity concept and bending-induced suppression of through-thickness necking. The results suggest that the mesh size sensitivity depends on the punch geometry. Moreover, the inclusion of bending effects and the use of the forming-severity concept in the BWH criterion yielded improved estimations of fracture initiation with shell elements.
