An overview of past research on T-stress is presented in this paper. Beginning with the
origin of T-stress, the authors discuss different phenomena associated with T-stress: crack …

This is the first of three overviews on failure of metals. Here, brittle and ductile failure under
monotonic loadings are addressed within the context of the local approach to fracture. In this …

This article presents an overview on modeling of micromechanical failure processes in
nodular cast iron, a material used for many engineering applications. Depending on the …

The paper deals with the effect of stress state on the damage behavior of ductile metals. The
continuum damage model has been generalized to take into account the effect of stress …

This contribution provides an improvement on GTN model upon the prediction of fracture
location within low level of stress triaxiality. In the proposition, two distinct damage …

The experimental and numerical work presented in this paper reveals that stress state has
strong effects on both the plastic response and the ductile fracture behavior of an aluminum …

In this paper void coalescence is regarded as the result of localization of plastic flow
between enlarged voids. We obtain the failure criterion for a representative material volume …

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 …

In this contribution, a numerical assessment of three isotropic constitutive models is
performed in order to identify their applicability and reliability in the prediction of ductile …

The use of HSLA steels for the manufacture of automotive components is interesting from an
engineering point of view. This family of steels, while possessing high strength, also has …
