For metallic materials, standard uniaxial tensile tests with round bar specimens or flat
specimens only provide accurate equivalent stress–strain curve before diffuse necking …

Mechanical properties of high-strength steels (HSSs) at varying temperatures are
fundamental information for the design and numerical analysis of cold-region structures and …

The safe and life extension utilization of steel structures in cold offshore regions demand
studies on the toughness of structural steel at low temperature and corrosion. In present …

The stress state is one of the most notable factors that dominates the initiation of ductile
fracture. To examine the effects of the stress state on plasticity and ductile failure, a new …

Although various effective models for simulating ductile fracture in metallic materials have
been established, the methods to identify the required parameters have scarcely been …

This paper proposes a practical method for addressing the effects of low temperatures on
the ductile fracture behavior of high tensile strength steel plates and modeling using large …

The recently developed edge tracing (ET) method allows to estimate the radial deformation
in axisymmetric tensile specimens via analysis of digital images recorded during the …

To ensure the structural integrity of advanced thin sheet metals in engineering applications,
it is necessary to understand their ductile crack propagation behaviour. In this work, we …

Since pipeline steel typically exhibits yield discontinuities, some pipelines may experience
high local strains during service that exceed the strain limits required by existing fracture …

Tests on cracked CT and SENT specimens (152 tests) extracted from a nuclear pressure
vessel steel (18MND5) were conducted between− 150∘ C and− 50∘ C together with tests …
