Degradation, damage evolution, and fatigue models in the literature for various engineering
materials, mostly metals and composites, are reviewed. For empirical models established …

Meso-damage mechanics differs from continuous damage mechanics, which pays more
attention to the evolution of meso-structure in materials. It combines physical and …

This study investigates the deformation and fracture mechanisms of two testing methods,
tension under cyclic bending (TCB) and tension under cyclic bending plus compression …

The ductile fracture behavior of metallic materials is usually coupled with complex stress
states. In order to describe the facture behavior of metallic materials under a broad range of …

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

An experimental research was conducted on the enhanced ductility and strain-hardening of
a solution-treated Al–Cu–Mn alloy for understanding its deformation mechanism at the …

Understanding the fracture mechanisms and predicting failure in forming processes is of
great interest to increase formability and numerical methods have been proven effective …

A thorough understanding of the texture evolution of near-α titanium alloys during the hot
metal forming can help obtain an optimal crystallographic texture and material performance …

Abstract Based on the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) damage model, the damage
evolution and ductile fracture of 7075 aluminum alloy sheets during the tensile process were …

In this study, a microdamage model by introducing the damage of crystal is proposed.
Damage variables are defined for each slip system, and the damage-coupled crystal …
