Phenomenological Modeling of Deformation-Induced Anisotropic Hardening Behaviors: A Review

Numerous studies indicate that the hardening behaviors of materials are closely related to their deformation history. In the forming processes with loading path changes, such as sheet metal forming, anisotropic hardening behaviors are universally observed. In this situation, selecting or constructing a suitable anisotropic hardening model is essential. This paper presents a review of the phenomenological modeling of the deformation-induced anisotropic hardening behaviors. At the beginning, the deformation-induced hardening behaviors are introduced together with the relevant experiments. Different from other published review works, this paper is not laid out according to the description of a series of models. Instead, the modeling is emphasized by generalizing the main mathematical modeling ideas among various hardening models and sorting out the description methods for the decomposed anisotropic hardening behaviors. Some prospective development directions for the modeling of anisotropic hardening behaviors are suggested at the end of this work. This review work tries to provide the researchers with an instruction on how modeling for the anisotropic hardening behaviors according to the materials and forming processes.
