The past 20 years have seen substantial work on the modeling of ductile damage and
fracture. Several factors explain this interest.(i) There is a growing demand to provide tools …

Structural design rules of reinforced concrete structures for using non-linear analysis with
MC2010 are presented in this article. The authors propose guidelines and good practice for …

Physical mechanisms of ductile damage in metal forming, experimental characterization
methods for damage, and models predicting the damage level in formed components are …

This contribution provides an improvement on GTN model upon the prediction of fracture
location within low level of stress triaxiality. In the proposition, two distinct damage …

In this contribution, a numerical assessment of three isotropic constitutive models is
performed in order to identify their applicability and reliability in the prediction of ductile …

The use of HSLA steels for the manufacture of automotive components is interesting from an
engineering point of view. This family of steels, while possessing high strength, also has …

In this contribution, it is suggested a damage evolution law which is based on Continuum
Damage Mechanics (CDM) and dependent on the hydrostatic pressure, by the stress …

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

This paper presents an experimental and numerical characterization of ductile damage
evolution in steels subjected to large plastic deformations. To this end, a set of tensile tests …

The relationship between von Mises equivalent stress σ¯ and equivalent plastic strain
ε¯(PEEQ), termed as von Mises stress-strain, plays an important role in numerical …
