The use of vanadium-microalloying in ultrahigh strength dual phase (DP) steels has been
shown to yield a fine dispersion of nano-scale vanadium carbonitrides (V (C, N)) in ferrite …

Ductile failure experiments on a double notched tube (DNT) specimen subjected to a
combination of tensile load and torque that was applied at a fixed ratio is presented. The …

Under impact loading conditions, the stress state derived from the contact between the
projectile and the target, as well as from the subsequent mechanical waves, is a variable of …

An advanced modeling framework is developed for predicting the failure of ductile materials
relying on micromechanics, physical ingredients, and robust numerical methods. The …

This paper investigates the application of high-strength steel in planar steel joints,
specifically X-joints and T-joints, which are crucial connecting components in structural …

The plastic deformation and failure behavior of metals is significantly affected by loading
conditions such as stress state, strain rate, temperature and etc. In this study, the tensile …

The stress state is one of the most notable factors that dominates the initiation of ductile
fracture. To examine the effects of the stress state on plasticity and ductile failure, a new …

This paper investigates the mechanisms of tensile and shear void coalescences in ductile
materials from energetics perspective. By examining and comparing the elastic and plastic …

Multiple failure modes of cyclic impact-sliding contacts, including brittle fracture, shear
failure, and low-cycle fatigue, are investigated within the work. For this regard, a general …

The ductile fracture behavior of a high strength steel is investigated using a micromechanics-
based approach with the objective to build a predictive framework for the fracture strain and …
