**Evaluation of the Forming Limit Curve of an aluminium alloy from texture analysis, crystal plasticity computation and Marciniak-Kuczynski test configuration**

**Keywords**:crystal plasticity, MK model, forming limit curve, formability, damask simulations, aluminium alloys

Due to its low density, aluminium (Al) is a key material for sustainability as it allows lightweighting. However, 5xxx and 6xxx aluminium alloys families suffer from lower formability ability than steels which limits their use for complex part designs. Improving the ductility of our Automotive Body Sheet (ABS) aluminium alloys is a major challenge. The latter depends on microstructural parameters (such as elements in solid solution, intermetallic particles, grain orientation). Constellium recently developed a tool to predict the impact of crystallographic texture on formability. Thanks to texture measurements and crystal plasticity simulations using the Damask open-source software, some formability parameters can be evaluated (bendability, anisotropy). However, an important brick is still missing: the prediction of the full forming limit curve (FLC) from the texture measurements. This internship offers the opportunity to develop the latter. The Marciniak-Kuszynski (M-K) model has been selected as a frame to determine the FLC, crystal plasticity model will have to satisfy requirements and boundary conditions of the M-K model.

The project has several components:

- Development of a Damask routine to reproduce M-K model for a full range of configuration: from tensile through plane strain to equi-biaxial loading,
- Extension of the model to necking prediction with non-linear strain paths (such as in Nakazima tests),
- Comparison with experimental data (available at C-TEC and from the literature) and assessment of the developed model,
- Integration of the model and its routine to the modeling C-TEC tools, making it available for our R&D engineer’s staff,
- Analysis and synthesis of the results, report writing and presentation to the team.

The role of the intern will consist, after a first phase of training in our trades and tools, to develop and implement a M-K modeling based on texture measurement and crystal plasticity simulation and to make it enable for the Modeling and Application team. To do so, the full process will have to be documented and adapted to the common C-TEC practices.
