The constitutive law to describe the anisotropic and asymmetric mechanical behavior of AZ31B magnesium (Mg) alloy sheets at room temperature has been developed here for the plane stress condition, based on the orthotropic yield criterion proposed by Cazacu O, Plunkett B, Barlat F. [Orthotropic yield criterion for hexagonal closed packed metals. International Journal of Plasticity 2006;22:1171–94] and different isotropic hardening laws for tension and compression. Experimental procedures to obtain the material parameters of the yield surface and the hardening laws have been discussed for the AZ31B Mg alloy sheet. For verification purposes, finite element simulation results based on the developed constitutive laws have been compared with experimental results for a three-point bending test.
