Abstract
Many different models have been published to predict failure after non-proportional load paths. Most of those models are phenomenological and heuristical models. They require a profound knowledge about the material. Examples are the enhanced Modified Maximum Force Criterion (eMMFC), the Polar Effective Plastic Strain-model (PEPS) or the Generalized Forming Limit Concept (GFLC). In addition to the load path, the loading direction has a significant influence on the formability of sheet metals. The mentioned models currently neglect this influence. By extending the GFLC-model by the parameter of loading direction, this influence is taken into account. By analyzing an acceptable number of bi-linear experiments, it is possible to calibrate the proposed model for a micro-alloyed steel HC340LA. Therewith an arbitrary load path with a change in loading direction can be evaluated. The results of this contribution show the effectiveness of this approach by different experiments
