When developing an electric vehicle, it is essential to evaluate the deformation in and around the battery box for different crash scenarios, and it is necessary to develop a more advanced model that would take into account all the stress modes. Thanks to the excellent properties of Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) combine with high strength for more safety and weight reduction for less exhaust emission, AHSS is more and more commonly used in automobile industry. The material employed in this project is DOCOL 900M and it is a martensitic steel with yield strength higher than 700MPa.  The focus of the current work is to describe the experimental setup for the GISSMO model used in LS-DYNA. A number of experimental methods and theories have been reviewed. Different geometries of the test specimens under different stress triaxialities have been discussed. The study also compares the accuracy and robustness of each of the testing methods and setups. The effect of anisotropy of materials on the mechanical properties was studied. Some summaries about how to reduce errors in the experiment under the conditions of low costing and high efficiency have been discussed. According to the stress-strain response of ductile materials, the parameters of plasticity model can be calibrated. The material can be implemented in finite element software to calibrate the parameters of damage and the prediction of material failure can be achieved. The experiment and simulation are always good to be used together in the research.
