Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 (AA 6061-T6) extrusions have been widely applied in large-span reticulated shells. However, researches on behaviors of the aluminum alloy under large deformation and fracture by means of meso-mechanics are still insufficient. This paper focuses on the plastic and fracture behaviors of AA 6061-T6 extrusions over a wide range of stress states. Experiments on smooth and notched round bars, grooved plates and shear plates are conducted. It is observed that the yield stress decreases as the notch or groove radius decreases. The yield stress under plane strain or pure shear is lower than that under axisymmetric tension. In addition, true stress–true strain data obtained from tensile coupon tests overestimate the hardening behavior at large deformation. To fully describe these experimental observations, a new plastic model considering the pressure dependence, Lode angle effect, and hardening with post-necking correction is proposed. Regarding the ductile fracture, modified Mohr–Coulomb fracture model with damage-induced softening is adopted to predict crack initiation and propagation under different stress states. The material models of plasticity and fracture are numerically implemented into FE code ABAQUS/explicit by the material subroutine VUMAT. It is found that both the overall nominal stress–strain curves and fracture patterns for all specimens are well predicted by the material models. For practical engineering design, recommended reduced values of shear strength and high-triaxiality tensile strength of AA 6061-T6 extrusions are given.
