Ductile fracture through growth and coalescence of intergranular cavities is a failure mode observed experimentally in many metallic alloys used industrial applications. Simulation this process polycrystalline aggregates requires modeling the plastic yielding porous boundaries. However, classical yield criteria for materials such as Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman model its current extensions cannot...
