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 …

Ductile damage and fracture prediction in real size structures subjected to complex loading
conditions has been of utmost interest in the scientific and engineering community in the …

A phenomenological ductile fracture initiation model for metals is developed for predicting
ductile fracture in industrial practice. Its formulation is based on the assumption that the …

Basic ductile fracture experiments for sheet metal (or flat coupons extracted from bulk
material) are presented to characterize the onset of fracture at different stress states. Special …

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 …

The effect of stress state and loading path on the ductile fracture of aluminum 2024-T351 is
characterized through tension–torsion experiments on tubular specimens. The experimental …

Two modes of plastic flow localization commonly occur in the ductile fracture of structural
metals undergoing damage and failure by the mechanism involving void nucleation, growth …

For the establishment of reliable micro/meso scale forming processes, it is essential to
accurately predict the forming limits of metal foils under different deformation paths …

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 …
