A non-associated constitutive model based on yld2004-18p yield criterion and its applications on sheet metal forming analysis by Honghao Wang, Changxiang Fan, Akira Yoshimura, Sai Xu, Guangjun Qiu, Xin Liang, Jun Yanagimoto

“…The anisotropy of sheet metals is caused by the rolling process, and several anisotropic constitutive models have been proposed under the non-associated flow rule to describe the deformation and stress anisotropies of sheet metals independently. However, most of them are based on yield functions that are only identified by the experimental data of orthogonal axes, or yield functions that are applicable to only the plane stress state. …”
