This study investigates the formability characteristics of dual phase steels (DP600 and DP800) under flange stretching conditions through hole expansion tests. The hole-splitting initiation was numerically predicted using ductile damage functions coupled with an orthotropic plasticity model. Therefore, a polynomial yield criterion coupled with three damage criteria, namely generalized plastic work, void growth model, and a shear ductile fracture model, is implemented into Marc software by the user defined material subroutine. Thus, the fracture stroke, hole expansion ratio, and fracture initiation location were estimated for both steels. The polynomial yield criterion could capture the anisotropic features of the dual phase steels. Furthermore, the stress triaxiality-based criteria were reasonably accurate in stretching limit predictions of both steels' grades. Nevertheless, plastic work predicted the fracture strokes and hole expansion ratios noticeably lower than the experimental outcomes for both steels. In addition, all the numerical results captured the exact fracture initiation location for DP600, while a slight discrepancy was observed for DP800. All ductile fracture models pointed out the identical crack location, which shows the cruciality of the yield criterion for locating the fracture initiation in hole expansion test. Consequently, both void growth model and shear ductile fracture model showed accurate performances conforming to the stress triaxiality was found to be more dominant than the Lode parameter.
