In this study, the ductile fracture of the alloy metal is analyzed. First, the key factors affecting
the initiation of ductile fracture are investigated. Then, a new uncoupled ductile fracture …

This paper proposes a yield function to model sheet metal strength between shear and
plane strain tension. The function is expressed as an equation of the three stress invariants …

Titanium is promising for manufacturing high-performance components in aerospace,
marine, energy and healthcare. Whether the forming potential of alpha titanium can be …

In engineering practice, it is critical to accurately forecast the fracture initiation of ductile
metals. Currently, various uncoupled ductile fracture criteria (DFCs) have been constructed …

Warm forming is largely employed to enhance the poor formability of aluminum alloys at
room temperature. The knowledge of the effect of stress state and temperature on the …

An isotropic ductile fracture criterion considering nucleation, growth, shear coalescence and
necking coalescence of voids during plastic deformation is developed to model fracture …

The hole expansion test is an appropriate evaluation method for assessing the formability of
automotive parts, where fracture prediction using simulated localized thickness is crucial …

Structural steels can be subjected to a range of stress and temperature conditions, and
accurate characterization of their limit states is a requirement for structural design. Yet data …

In this study, a new micromechanically-motivated phenomenological uncoupled fracture
model is proposed for predicting the ductile fracture of structural metals considering the …

This paper presents a continuum-damage-model-like constitutive law embedding cohesive
cracks with plasticity-induced damage to represent the degradation of strength and ductility …
