Modelling of damage Evolution and Fracture in 5182 H111 aluminium alloy

The paper presents results of a numerical modelling of ductile fracture and failure of elements made of 5182H111 aluminum alloy steel subjected to dynamic traction. The analysis was performed using Johnson-Cook model based ABAQUS software. The aim of the research was to specify and test the mechanical properties during numerical simulations. The experimental test results for the mechanical properties of the studies steel are presented with a large description of the testing facilities. The test results were used to determine the temperature dependencies of the mechanical properties, yield strength, modulus of elasticity and thermal elongation.
