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 …

Cryogenic forming has been developed to manufacture thin-walled curved aluminum alloy
components, whose final dimensions are affected by cryogenic shrinkage and springback …

Simultaneously obtaining excellent formability and post-form strength in the traditional sheet
metal forming of heat-treatable aluminum alloy is challenging, owing to the coexistence of …

While experimental methods for characterizing edge fracture have advanced significantly,
current modeling approaches often neglect factors like anisotropy evolution and localization …

A non-deterministic phase field (PF) virtual modelling framework is proposed for three-
dimensional dynamic brittle fracture. The developed framework is based on experimental …

In the family of smart materials termed as “self-healing materials”, there is a prominent
number of them sharing many similarities in the way that healing is affecting their post …

In industrial production, sheet metal rupture will inevitably occur in the process of forming,
especially in the shape of complex, relatively small thickness of the sheet. It is vital to …

Determination of forming limit curve (FLC) over a wide range of strain paths can provide a
more thorough understanding of sheet metal formability. In this work, for the first time, in …

In order to accurately describe the fracture behaviour of ductile metals in a wide range of
stress states, based on the mechanism of void nucleation, growth, and coalescence during …

TC4 titanium alloy has excellent comprehensive properties. Due to its light weight, high
specific strength, and good corrosion resistance, it is widely used in aerospace, military …
