Dual-phase (DP) steel is the flagship of advanced high-strength steels, which were the first
among various candidate alloy systems to find application in weight-reduced automotive …

Sheet-metal products are integral parts of engineering industries and academia research.
Various testing techniques have revealed the deformation behaviors of sheet metals under …

This paper is concerned with prediction of the onset of ductile fracture by a newly proposed
micro-mechanism-motivated macroscopic ductile fracture criterion in various stress states …

Ductile fracture is inherently a three-dimensional phenomenon and should be represented
in the 3-D space. Sixteen fracture models are evaluated and divided into three groups …

There is a particularly high degree of experimental uncertainty associated with the
determination of the strain to fracture for simple shear. In most shear specimens, different …

DIC-based identification of the constitutive parameters of an elastoplastic law is addressed
both from a general viewpoint, and applied to the particular case of dog-bone sample made …

Few shear test techniques exist that cover the range of strain rates from static to dynamic. In
this work, a novel specimen geometry is presented that can be used for the characterisation …

To characterise the high strain rate mechanical behaviour of metals, split Hopkinson bar
experiments are frequently used. These experiments basically yield the force and elongation …

This work is concerned with the theoretical development, algorithmic implementation and
numerical investigation of a novel thermodynamically consistent 'two-surface'gradient …

The mechanisms leading to fracture of aluminum alloy AA2024-T3 under shear loading are
investigated via X-ray synchrotron laminography. A 1mm-thick flat double-gage section …
