Since its introduction, the Modified Maximum Force Criterion proposed by Hora et al., has been widely used to theoretically estimate the forming limit curve of metal sheets. On the basis of this criterion, a graphical method was presented in our previous study to simplify the evaluation of the forming limit curve (FLC) of metal sheets. This paper presents an application of the graphical method to estimate the FLCs of an advanced high-strength steel sheet material, DP590. The material is frequently used in the automotive industry. To verify the ability of the graphical method, various hardening laws and yield functions were used to estimate the forming limiting curves for the examined material. The calculated forming limiting curves are then adopted for the finite element method (FEM) to predict the fracture heights of different notch specimens desired by the Hecker’s punch stretching tests. The results of the finite element method simulations agree well with the values of the fracture heights, in comparison to the experimental data. This verifies the ability and potential of the graphical method in industrial engineering.
