Unified constitutive models for deformation of thin-walled structures

Sheet metals are widely used as body panels and trims in automotive body structures. In the event of a crash, these panels will likely to experience impact loads in the range where the strain rate effect is significant. The behaviour of sheet metals differs as the strain rate increases. Thus, Abaqus...
