Ductile rupture in metals is a phenomenon that affects a wide range of applications from
forming of automotive body panels to failure of pressure vessels. The incipient stage …

Steels with medium manganese (Mn) content (3∼ 12 wt-%) have emerged as a new alloy
class and received considerable attention during the last decade. The microstructure and …

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 …

We propose an improved random forest classifier that performs classification with a
minimum number of trees. The proposed method iteratively removes some unimportant …

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

As one of the representative characteristics of plastic deformation, microstructural plastic
strain inhomogeneity has triggered a broad interest in uncovering the corresponding …

Heterostructured dual-phase (DP) steels comprising different martensite volume fractions
(HS740 steel, VM: 41%; HS780 steel, VM: 54%) were produced by cold rolling and …

The influence of martensite morphology and volume fraction on low-temperature impact
toughness of dual-phase (DP) steels was investigated by impact tests, nanoindentation …

Physical mechanisms of ductile damage in metal forming, experimental characterization
methods for damage, and models predicting the damage level in formed components are …

Abstract Ultra-high strength (> 1 GPa) dual-phase (DP) steels have been extensively
investigated in literature. Yet, the damage tolerance of these DP steels remains mostly …
