The fracture initiation in ductile materials is governed by the damaging process along the
plastic loading path. A new damage plasticity model for ductile fracture is proposed …

A damage plasticity model for ductile fracture is proposed. This model is established on the
cylindrical coordinate system of principal stress space. Experimental results show that …

Ductile fracture is often considered as the consequences of the accumulation of plastic
damage. This paper is concerned with the application of a recently developed damage …

Numerous criteria have been developed for ductile fracture (DF) prediction in metal plastic
deformation. Finding a way to select these DF criteria (DFCs) and identify their applicability …

This paper summarizes our recent studies on modeling ductile fracture in structural materials
using the mechanism-based concepts. We describe two numerical approaches to model the …

This paper provides experimental validation of the approach for simulating ductile failure
using finite element methods, recently proposed by the authors. The proposed method is …

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 …

Continuum damage mechanics theory together with large deformation elastic–plastic finite
element analysis has been used to predict crack growth initiation in ductile materials. The …

The past 20 years have seen substantial work on the modeling of ductile damage and
fracture. Several factors explain this interest.(i) There is a growing demand to provide tools …

This paper treats the ductile failure initiation in circumferentially-notched tension specimens
and explores the local damage model that is able to represent the continuous degradation of …
