This paper reviews the most recent models for description of the anisotropic plastic behavior
and formability of sheet metals. After a brief review of classic isotropic yield functions, recent …

Modelling the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials based on their evolving
microstructure and the anisotropic properties of their constituent single crystal grains is …

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 …

In this work, we study the effect of crystallographic orientation and applied triaxiality on the
growth of intragranular voids. Two 3D full-field micromechanics methods are used, the …

Mineral grains and porosity are two common properties of geomaterials. This study focuses
on establishing a macroscopic yield criterion for geomaterials having pores and mineral …

Characterizing the anisotropy/asymmetry-induced distortional yielding and subsequent
evolution is still a challenge for potential usages of hard-to-deform materials. From …

Most structural materials are polycrystalline aggregates whose constituent crystals are
irregular in shape, have anisotropic mechanical properties and contain a variety of defects …

Advances in the theory of plasticity and damage of metallic materials are driven by the
demand to improve performance and safety of structures and machine parts while reducing …

The coupling effects of low asymmetry of HCP structure and transient non-uniform
stress/strain states during multi-pass deformation processing cause a great variation in …

In the present work, a new explicit expression of macroscopic yield criterion is derived for
porous materials, such as soil, rock and cement-based materials. To consider the …
