Forming limit curves at neck and at fracture have been experimentally determined, and surfaces of fractured dome specimens have been observed optically and in the SEM, for an automotive AA6111-T4 sheet material. Various continuum ductile fracture criteria from the literature along with the assumptions of power law hardening, Hill's quadratic yield criterion, and proportionality of stress and strain paths have been utilized for prediction of forming limit curve at fracture and compared with the experimental curve to assess the applicability of the different fracture criteria. The maximum shear stress criterion by Tresca predicts reasonably well the fracture limits of AA6111-T4 sheet material for a range of strain ratios, and is consistent with the microstructural observations. The criterion can be used to predict fracture limit curves from uniaxial tensile data and plane strain limit at fracture. A methodology for incorporating such a ductile fracture criterion into FE simulations of sheet stampings for prediction of fracture is discussed.
