燃料电池双极板用超薄商用纯钛板的多尺度建模:塑性各向异性和畸变应变硬化

摘要: 本研究提出了一个多尺度建模框架探讨0.1 mm厚商用纯钛(CP-Ti)板的力学行为。由于缺乏表征复杂应力状态下超薄板的标准化方法,因此采用了虚拟建模方法。在晶粒尺度上,同时考虑滑移和孪晶系统构建了晶体塑性有限元(CPFE)模型,以便于能够预测不同载荷条件下的响应。在连续尺度上,CPFE结果与拉伸数据相结合,用于校准基于Yld2000-2d屈服函数的先进本构模型,该模型能够捕捉各向异性行为。对独立极限圆顶高度测试的验证证实了框架的预测准确性。本文提出的方法为模拟超薄CP-Ti板的成形行为提供了基础,并支持燃料电池系统中双极板的精确制造。

 

Multi-scale modeling of ultra-thin commercially pure titanium sheet for fuel cell bipolar plates: Plastic anisotropy and distortional strain hardening

Abstract: This study presents a multi-scale modeling framework to describe the mechanical behavior of a 0.1 mm-thick commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) sheet developed for fuel cell bipolar plates. Since standardized methods for characterizing ultra-thin sheets under complex stress states are lacking, a virtual modeling approach was employed. At the grain scale, a crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) model was constructed to incorporate the relevant slip and twinning systems, enabling prediction of responses under diverse loading conditions. Extending to the continuum scale, the CPFE results, combined with tensile data, were used to calibrate an advanced constitutive model based on the evolutionary Yld2000-2d yield function, capable of capturing anisotropic behavior. Validation against independent limiting dome height tests confirmed the predictive accuracy of the framework. The proposed approach provides a basis for simulating the forming behavior of ultra-thin CP-Ti sheets and supports precise manufacturing of bipolar plates in fuel cell systems.
