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 …

This is the first of three overviews on failure of metals. Here, brittle and ductile failure under
monotonic loadings are addressed within the context of the local approach to fracture. In this …

The article is a continuation of two previous review papers on the fracture mechanism of
structural metals through the nucleation, growth and coalescence of voids. In the present …

The present work investigates the effects of stress state and crystallographic orientation of
the principal stress axes on the growth behaviour of micro-voids embedded in an aluminium …

Crystal plasticity theory is often employed to predict the mesoscopic states of polycrystalline
metals, and is well-known to be costly to simulate. Using a neural network with convolutional …

The last few decades have witnessed an increasing emphasis on the development of strain-
based approach for predicting the creep life or damage of components operating at elevated …

This paper examines the critical strain–to–onset of void collapse and void coalescence via
homogenization–based micromechanics analyses. The critical strains are established by …

An elastoviscoplastic model is formulated at finite strains for porous single crystals. The
model extends the yield function developed by Han et al.(2013) for porous single crystals at …

In polycrystalline materials, void growth is strongly dependent on its surrounding
microstructural environment such as grain morphologies, crystallographic orientations and …

Microvoid growth involves a strong size effect, ie, smaller microvoid presents a lower growth
rate. In polycrystalline materials, the size ratio between microvoids and grains may also …
