The paper presents a literature review on the development of microvoids in metals, leading
to ductile fracture associated with plastic deformation, without taking into account the …

Ductile damage and fracture prediction in real size structures subjected to complex loading
conditions has been of utmost interest in the scientific and engineering community in the …

A phenomenological ductile fracture initiation model for metals is developed for predicting
ductile fracture in industrial practice. Its formulation is based on the assumption that the …

Basic ductile fracture experiments for sheet metal (or flat coupons extracted from bulk
material) are presented to characterize the onset of fracture at different stress states. Special …

A macroscopic ductile fracture criterion is proposed based on micro-mechanism analysis of
nucleation, growth and shear coalescence of voids from experimental observation of fracture …

One of the most confounding controversies in the ductile fracture community is the large
discrepancy between predicted and experimentally observed strain-to-failure values during …

Ductile fracture of structural metals occurs mainly by the nucleation, growth and coalescence
of voids. Here an overview of continuum models for this type of failure is given. The most …

The effect of stress state and loading path on the ductile fracture of aluminum 2024-T351 is
characterized through tension–torsion experiments on tubular specimens. The experimental …

The paper deals with the effect of stress state on the damage behavior of ductile metals. The
continuum damage model has been generalized to take into account the effect of stress …

In engineering practice, it is critical to accurately forecast the fracture initiation of ductile
metals. Currently, various uncoupled ductile fracture criteria (DFCs) have been constructed …
