A crystal plasticity model accounting for damage evolution and ductile failure in a single
crystal due to the presence of voids or micro-cracks is presented. An accurate, robust and …

The yielding, plastic flow and fracture of textured aluminium alloys depend on their
microstructure formed during the thermo-mechanical processing. In this work, we investigate …

In this study, the plastic flow and ductile fracture of three 6000-series aluminium alloys
commonly used for crash components in the automotive industry are characterised …

Tension tests on smooth and notched specimens were conducted for four 6000-series
aluminium alloys to assess the effects of constituent particles on ductile fracture at different …

The influence of microstructure on plasticity and fracture of three 6000-series aluminum
alloys is studied with emphasis on the anisotropy caused by the extrusion process. Tension …

Aluminium alloys contain various types of intermetallic particles with different sizes, such as
constituent particles and dispersoids. The main mechanism of ductile fracture in these …

In-plane shear tests were conducted on two extruded 6000-series aluminium alloys to
investigate the influence of constituent particles on ductile fracture. The two alloys have …

Ductile fracture of two high-strength aluminium alloys in temper T6 is investigated using
heuristic extensions of the Gurson model with non-quadratic yield criteria. Simulations of …

The occurrence of grain boundary precipitates was investigated with respect to the
crystallographic orientation of the adjacent grains in extruded AA6110, AA6063 and AA6061 …

This paper investigates the tear resistance of three cast and homogenized 6000-series
alloys, namely AA6061, AA6063 and AA6110, all in temper T6, by means of Kahn tear tests …
