In this paper, a nonlinear model for ductile damage accumulation is presented and applied
to predict failure under non-proportional loading conditions. To this purpose, several tension …

Evaluating the correct mode of material failure is crucial in many manufacturing industries.
Not only does doing so help prevent sudden malfunctions, it can also mean better-designed …

The experimental program was designed and proportional tests carried out at a room
temperature on aluminium alloy 2024-T351. These concerned tension, torsion and …

Damage modelling in ductile metal has received a lot of attention in the last thirty years.
Since 1969, many models have been proposed in the literature even though, in most of the …

This paper illustrates a methodology to improve the description of the plastic behavior and
the fracture prediction for ductile materials under complex loading conditions. To this …

The paper discusses the effect of stress triaxiality on the onset and evolution of damage in
ductile metals. A series of tests including shear tests and experiments on smooth and pre …

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 …

The development of ductile damage, that occurs beyond the point of necking in a tensile test,
can be difficult to quantify. An experimental methodology has been developed to accurately …

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 …

The paper deals with an anisotropic continuum damage and failure model for ductile metals
with focus on negative stress triaxialities. The continuum framework has been generalized to …
