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 …

In this work, we have brought to light the effect of material orientation on void growth. For that
purpose, we have performed finite element calculations using a cubic unit-cell model with a …

Recent investigations have shown that the ductility of a metal may depend on not only the
stress triaxiality but also the Lode parameter, especially in the relatively low stress triaxiality …

A rate-(in) dependent constitutive model for porous single crystals with arbitrary crystal
anisotropy (eg, FCC, BCC, HCP, etc.) containing general ellipsoidal voids is developed. The …

In polycrystalline materials, microvoid size is usually of the same order of magnitude as
grain size. However, in most previous studies, matrix around microvoid is generally …

The microstructure and ductile fracture characteristics of the aluminum alloy (Aural-2)
produced by high-pressure die casting have been characterized via experimental and …

The major goal of this work is to develop a robust modelling strategy for the simulation of
ductile damage development including crack initiation and subsequent propagation. For that …

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 …

A strain gradient void-driven ductile fracture model of single crystals is proposed and
applied to simulate crack propagation in single and oligo-crystal specimens. The model is …
