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 …

Ductile fracture of structural metals occurs mainly by the nucleation, growth and coalescence
of voids. Here an overview of continuum models for this type of failure is given. The most …

Regrading to the numerous potentials of additive manufacturing in producing components,
three-dimensional (3D)-printed parts are becoming more prevalent in various industries and …

The presence of microstructural defects resulting in unpredictable failure behavior has
limited the use of additively manufactured (AM) metals in structural applications. In addition …

The present study investigates the effect of stress triaxiality on mechanical behavior and
fracture of Ti-5Al-2.5 Sn alloy in a practical relevant strain rate range from 0.1 to 1000 s− 1 …

Indentation is a simple and one of the oldest small-scale test methods for characterizing the
mechanical response of materials. Recently, there has been a growing interest in dynamic …

Ductile fracture involving nucleation, growth and coalescence of microscale voids limits the
performance, safety, reliability and manufacturability of a variety of metallic components and …

Ductile crack growth in a grain boundary layer is modeled under mode I plane-strain, small-
scale yielding conditions. The calculations are carried out for planar polycrystals using an …

We explore the possibility of engineering the crack path by controlling a material's
microstructure in order to increase its crack growth resistance. Attention is confined to a …

Hydraulic fracturing treatment in rocks creates surfaces that are not smooth but rough in
general. Accurate characterization of surface roughness is necessary to relate fracture …
