The paper presents a literature review on the development of microvoids in metals, leading
to ductile fracture associated with plastic deformation, without taking into account the …

This is the first of three overviews on failure of metals. Here, brittle and ductile failure under
monotonic loadings are addressed within the context of the local approach to fracture. In this …

The article is a continuation of two previous review papers on the fracture mechanism of
structural metals through the nucleation, growth and coalescence of voids. In the present …

Ductile fracture of structural metals occurs mainly by the nucleation, growth and coalescence
of voids. Here an overview of continuum models for this type of failure is given. The most …

Ductile failure of three 6xxx serie aluminium alloys has been characterized and modelled for
about thirty hardening conditions each. These alloys involve relatively similar composition …

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

A rate-(in) dependent constitutive model for porous single crystals with arbitrary crystal
anisotropy (eg, FCC, BCC, HCP, etc.) containing general ellipsoidal voids is developed. The …

This study focuses on the high temperature characteristics of thermo-mechanically
processed AA7075 alloy. An integrated die forming process that combines solution heat …

An isotropic multi-surface model of porous material plasticity is derived and employed to
investigate the effects of the third stress invariant in ductile failure. The constitutive relation …

We have carried out dilatant plasticity simulations to investigate the process of void-
mediated failure inside a shear band. The constitutive model accounts for possibly …
