The present work addresses the micromechanical modeling and simulation of crack initiation propagation in ductile materials failing by void nucleation, growth coalescence. A cohesive–volumetric approach is used overall material behavior characterized both a hardening bulk constitutive law softening surface traction–separation embedded between each mesh finite element discretization. sums up acr...

A theory of yielding and failure for homogeneous and isotropic materials is given. The theory is calibrated by two independent, measurable properties and from those it predicts possible failure for any given state of stress. It also differentiates between ductile yielding and brittle failure. The explicit ductile-brittle criterion depends not only upon the material specification through the two...

forming limit curves are used as a parameter in finite element analysis to control the material's level of formability. in this research, forming limit diagram (fld) of ss304l sheet was obtained by abaqusfinite element software. in practice, the experimental determination of a forming limit curve is a very time-consuming procedure which requires special and expensive equipment. forming limit di...

• Ductile-to-brittle transition is simulated combining complete Gurson model and CZM. Brittle fracture only occurs when the ratio between cohesive strength yield below a critical value. Hydrogen embrittlement studied using this numerical framework hydrogen concentration revealed. A general simulation for modelling ductile-to-brittle in metals proposed. The method combines zone model, which brin...

The fracture toughness of three new compositional variants of the Zr-Ti-Be-LTM (Late Transition Metal) family of bulk metallic glasses (BMG’s) are studied in the as-cast and annealed condition. Quaternary Zr-Ti-Cu-Be alloys consistently had linear elastic fracture toughness values greater than 80 MPa·m, while Vitreloy 1, a Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be alloy, had an average fracture toughness of 48.5 MPa·m wi...

x-100 steel is one of the most recently developed materials for production of gas transportation pipelines. this material is severely anisotropic. smooth and notched round bars with different notch radius and flat notched specimens with different notch radius and notch depth in tension are tested to characterize the failure of this material under quasi-static loading condition. triaxiality fact...

490 MRS BULLETIN/JULY 2002 nated by intergranular fracture, while in AJM it was in a manner resembling ductile behavior. Improved surface finishing by AJM resulted in a 15% improvement in flexural strength, compared with both ground and ground-plus-lapped samples. The researchers concluded that a higher compressive residual stress observed on the AJM-processed surface, combined with the smoothe...
