Lightweight materials and structures have been extensively studied for a wide range of
applications in design and manufacturing of more environment-friendly and more …

We are rapidly approaching an inflection point in the adoption of electric vehicles on the
roads. All major automotive companies are having well-funded plans for mass market …

Spheroidized ferrite-cementite steel (SFC) is susceptible to micro-defects owing to the
mismatched deformation between the ferrite and cementite during cold forming, which …

This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical study on the low-velocity
impact behavior of honeycomb-core sandwich panels with different structural parameters …

Phase-field models have been a topic of much research in recent years. Results have
shown that these models are able to produce complex crack patterns in both two and three …

Consistent and reasonable characterization of the material behavior under the coupled
effects of strain, strain rate and temperature on the material flow stress is remarkably crucial …

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 …

Abstract The Mohr–Coulomb (M–C) fracture criterion is revisited with an objective of
describing ductile fracture of isotropic crack-free solids. This criterion has been extensively …

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 …
