Abstract Inaccurate representations of iceberg calving from ice shelves are a large source uncertainty in mass-loss projections the Antarctic sheet. Here, we address this limitation by implementing and testing continuum damage-mechanics model continental scale ice-sheet model. The formulation, based on linear stability analysis subsequent long-wavelength approximation crevasses that evolve visc...

Damage mechanics offers the possibility of representing the failure of components directly, without the use of characterising parameters such as the K or J of fracture mechanics. It does so by allowing the material to develop damage and fail at the level of the continuum mechanics description. Within the regime of ductile fracture, the method tries to encapsulate the loss of strength associated...

In sheet metal forming processes with complex strain paths, a part is subjected to large plastic deformation. This severe plastic deformation leads to high plastic strain localization zones and subsequent accumulation of those strains. Then internal and superficial micro-defects and in other words ductile damage is created. This damage causes quality problems such as fracture. Therefore, design...
