Three-dimensional finite element-based numerical analysis of Vickers indenter hardness test was conducted to investigate the effect of frictional conditions and material anisotropy on indentation results of deep drawing quality steel sheets. The strain hardening properties and Lankford’s coefficient were determined through the uniaxial tensile tests. The numerical computations were carried out using ABAQUS nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis software. Numerical simulations taken into account anisotropy of material described by Hill (1948) yield a criterion. The stress and strain distributions and loading–unloading characteristics were considered to study the response of the material. It was found that the hardness values seemed to be influenced by the value of the friction coefficient due to the pile-up phenomenon observed. The increasing of the friction coefficient led to a decrease of the pile-up value. Moreover, the width of the pile-ups differed from each other in the two perpendicular directions of measurement. Frictional conditions did not significantly affect the maximum force and the character of load–displacement curves. Frictional regime between the indenter and workpiece caused that the region of maximum residual stresses to be located in the subsurface.
