Microstructure plays a key role in fatigue crack initiation and growth. Consequently,
measurements of strain at the microstructural level are crucial to understanding fatigue crack …

The effect of the stress state on the localization of plastic flow in a Levy–von Mises material
is investigated numerically. A unit cell model is built with a spherical central void that acts as …

Focus has been made to give an overview of various methodologies used in fault diagnosis
and condition monitoring. A crack in vibrating structures can lead to premature failure if it is …

A coupled elastoplastic-damage constitutive model with Lode angle dependent failure
criterion for high strain and ballistic applications is presented. A Lode angle dependent …

In this paper, we investigate how the shear-modified Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN)
model can be used to reveal the effect of manufacturing-process-induced porosity on the …

This paper evaluates mesh adaptation techniques in two-dimensional digital image
correlation (2D-DIC) analyses of specimens with large deformations and a single …

The influence of stress state and plastic anisotropy on the fracture behaviour of a rolled
AA7075-T651 aluminium plate under quasi-static loading conditions is studied both …

The microstructure and ductile fracture characteristics of the aluminum alloy (Aural-2)
produced by high-pressure die casting have been characterized via experimental and …

Two distinct implementations of the Mohr–Coulomb failure model are used in conjunction
with a non-associated quadratic plasticity model to describe the onset of fracture in low …

Due to design and process-related factors, there are local variations in the microstructure
and mechanical behaviour of cast components. This work establishes a Digital Image …
