The continuum mechanical simulation of microstructural damage process is important in the
study of ductile fracture mechanics. An essential feature in these analyses, is the strong …

In this paper, the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model formulation proposed by
[Eng. Fract. Mech. 58 (1/2)(1997) 11] has been validated against ductile damage evolution …

Fracture mechanics tests have been performed in the upper shelf region of a steel on large
surface cracked plate (SCT) specimens and on small compact tension (CT) specimens …

A directional crack growth criterion in a compressed elastic perfectly plastic material is
considered. The conditions at the crack-tip are evaluated for a straight stationary crack with a …

The ductile fracture behaviour of metallic materials is strongly dependent on the material's
stress state and loading history. This paper presents a concept of damage initiation and …

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

Damage of materials means the progressive or sudden deterioration of their mechanical
strength due to loading, thermal or chemical effects. It could cover all related phenomena …

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 …

A new coupled plasticity-damage model is proposed within a finite deformation framework
for modeling ductile fracture in ASTM A36 structural steels. Damage mechanics principles of …
