The paper deals with a series of new experiments and corresponding numerical simulations
to study the effect of non-proportional loading paths on damage and fracture behavior of …

This contribution proposes a study of the mechanical behavior from damage to fracture of
normalized and annealed samples of AISI 4340 steel. Besides, a numerical study in a …

The material properties of the strip play a vital role in the power consumption and the
damage evolution in a tandem cold rolling mill. Therefore, the strip tearing or power …

During the manufacturing and service of thin metal sheets, different stress states occur, often
caused by non-proportional loading conditions. They can lead to localization of inelastic …

Damage is a progressive physical process that results in fracture. Recently, study of damage
and failure in materials, particularly ductile metals has been of great importance for …

Damage growth phenomenon in sheet metal forming processes is one of the most important
issues in the manufacturing industries. Predicting the onset and location of crack can help …

In this paper, a coupled temperature-rate dependent fracture of ductile materials is
investigated using a phase field model. The model is proposed based on the strain energy …

An accurate fracture simulation is often associated with how reliably the material model is
represented. Hence, many models dealing with the calibration of ductile damage of …

Abstract Collapse assessment of Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs) requires thorough
simulation of damage-induced softening by using deteriorating behavioral models …

During tandem cold rolling mill process, strip tearing reduces production rate, damages the
rollers, and consequently decreases efficiency of production. Predicting and postponing of …
