Dual-phase (DP) steel is the flagship of advanced high-strength steels, which were the first
among various candidate alloy systems to find application in weight-reduced automotive …

During the latest 20 years, the extended finite element method (XFEM) has been gradually
used to investigate the crack growth behaviors of different materials in combination with …

Spheroidized ferrite-cementite steel (SFC) is susceptible to micro-defects owing to the
mismatched deformation between the ferrite and cementite during cold forming, which …

Dual-phase (DP) steels are characterized by their good formability and interesting material
properties, which primarily originate from their unique composition, combining the ductile …

Virtual crack closure technique (VCCT), cohesive zone modeling (CZM) and extended finite
element method (XFEM) are three well-known numerical methods frequently used for crack …

The influence of the martensite volume fraction (V m) on the damage and fracture behavior
of dual-phase steels was studied by combining experiments and micromechanical …

This work aims to study the failure initiation in dual-phase (DP) steel. A microstructure based
approach using representative volume elements (RVEs) is utilized to evaluate the …

The fracture behavior of brittle materials is strongly influenced by their underlying
microstructure that needs explicit consideration for accurate prediction of fracture properties …
