Abstract
A method for identifying a necking limit strain of a metal sheet includes a step of measuring the distribution of strain in a tensile orthogonal direction in a tensile deformation process of a notch root for two or more types of sheet specimens having a notch geometry in a portion of a sheet edge; a step of obtaining a strain increment ratio of the notch root in the tensile deformation process and a strain gradient in the tensile orthogonal direction; a step of obtaining necking limit strain at which necking occurs in the notch root based on the strain increment ratio in the tensile deformation process; and a step of identifying the necking limit strain as a function of the strain gradient from the relation between the necking limit strain obtained for the two or more types of sheet specimens and the strain gradient at that time.
