In order to establish a ductile fracture criterion, several potential fracture parameters were
investigated by comparing numerical simulations of crack extension with available …

In this paper, a new damage mechanics parameter VD is proposed, which is valid for
characterizing ductile fracture, and a damage mechanics criterion is established based on a …

The validity and applications of a new continuum damage mechanics (CDM)-based local
criterion for ductile fracture proposed by the present author [Engng Fracture Mech. 42, 185 …

The continuum mechanical simulation of the microstructural damage process is important in
the study of ductile fracture mechanics. In this paper, the continuum damage mechanics …

A new ductile fracture criterion (DFC) is developed based on two typical fracture
mechanisms-tension fracture and shear fracture by analyzing the morphologies of the …

Linear elastic fracture mechanics has been widely used for fracture analysis of cracked
metals. For ductile materials, it is known that the yielding of a crack front results in the easing …

In this paper, the ductile fracture mechanism is discussed. The results of numerical and
experimental analyses were used to estimate the onset of crack front growth. It was assumed …

A unified local criterion for ductile fracture is proposed on the basis of the continuum
damage mechanics (CDM) model given by the author in Part I [Engng Fracture …

Fracture of ductile materials has frequently been observed to result from the nucleation,
growth and coalescence of microscopic voids. Experimental and analytical studies have …

A modified ductile fracture model is proposed based on continuum damage mechanics and
three-stress-invariant criteria. In the modified model, the effects of hydrostatic pressure and …
