Micromechanical modelling of void nucleation in ductile metals indicates that strain required
for damage initiation reduces exponentially with increasing stress triaxiality. This feature has …

This work outlines a new three-dimensional diffuse interface finite volume method for the
simulation of multiple solid and fluid components featuring large deformations, sliding and …

In this article, the effects of plastic anisotropy and damage on ductile crack initiation (ductile
failure) are studied in a thermodynamically consistent framework. First, isotropic and …

Strain-based design for offshore pipeline requires a considerable experimental work aimed
to determine the material fracture toughness and the effective strain capacity of pipe and …

Recently, the continuum damage mechanics model proposed by Bonora (Eng. Fract. Mech.
58, 1997) has been updated to account for stress triaxiality effect on model …

The extended Bonora damage model was used to investigate joinability of materials in self-
piercing riveting process. This updated model formulation accounts for void nucleation and …

At equivalent impact velocity, pressure in Taylor and ROR impact experiment is not the same
and this reflects in the resulting condition for ductile damage development. In this work, finite …

This work outlines a diffuse interface method for the study of fracture and fragmentation in
ductile metals at high strain-rates in Eulerian finite volume simulations. The work is based on …

Stress triaxiality plays a major role in the nucleation and growth of ductile damage in metals
and alloys. Although, the mechanisms responsible for ductile failure are the same at low and …

In this work, a constitutive modeling that couples plasticity, grain size evolution (due to
plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization) and ductile damage has been developed …
