The article is a continuation of two previous review papers on the fracture mechanism of
structural metals through the nucleation, growth and coalescence of voids. In the present …

The fracture properties of a high-strength steel with a body-centered cubic (bcc) crystal
structure have been characterized at–196° C by performing tensile tests with different …

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 …

Failure in lightweight metal forming is a big challenge currently and prevents their widely
application in weight reduction of automobile and aerospace structures. A stress-based …

Most of engineering structures and components are made of ductile materials, while fracture
mechanics tools have been mostly developed for brittle materials. This article investigates …

The prediction of ductile fracture is highly related to the stress and strain states in the plastic
stage. For steel plates in the engineering structure, despite many stress-strain equations …

In order to accurately describe the fracture behaviour of ductile metals in a wide range of
stress states, based on the mechanism of void nucleation, growth, and coalescence during …

Anisotropic ductile fracture is one of the critical issues in the precision plastic forming of
lightweight sheet metals. In this work, a new anisotropic ductile fracture model is developed …

This paper presents the main findings acquired in an experimental investigation into where
voids form in microstructures of pure Mg, Mg–3Zn alloy, and pure Ti after tension to near …

The aim of this work is to investigate and predict ductile failure in forming processes.
Experimental results of deep drawing and corrugation processing on aluminum alloys …
