We are rapidly approaching an inflection point in the adoption of electric vehicles on the
roads. All major automotive companies are having well-funded plans for mass market …

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 …

The anisotropic ductile fracture behavior of a stainless steel is investigated using a
combination of experiments and analysis. The material is SS-304L, an austenitic, low …

Complex structural components made from 7xxx series alloys are usually manufactured
through hot stam** due to their low ductility at room temperature. With the help of a custom …

Pre-stretching is commonly employed to accelerate ageing precipitation kinetics in wrought
Al-Cu-Li alloys, but uneven precipitation resulting from dislocation pile-ups often degrades …

This paper is concerned with prediction of the onset of ductile fracture by a newly proposed
micro-mechanism-motivated macroscopic ductile fracture criterion in various stress states …

Ductile fracture is inherently a three-dimensional phenomenon and should be represented
in the 3-D space. Sixteen fracture models are evaluated and divided into three groups …

This study investigates the influence of heat treatment on the anisotropic plastic deformation
behaviors of 6016-O and 6016-T4 aluminum alloy sheets. The two material samples were …

In engineering practice, it is critical to accurately forecast the fracture initiation of ductile
metals. Currently, various uncoupled ductile fracture criteria (DFCs) have been constructed …

Titanium is promising for manufacturing high-performance components in aerospace,
marine, energy and healthcare. Whether the forming potential of alpha titanium can be …
