Constraint and Stress State Effects in Ductile Fracture

  • Chapter
Book cover Topics in Fracture and Fatigue

Abstract

The mechanics and mechanisms of ductile fracture are reviewed, emphasizing the effect of multi-axial states of stress on the mechanisms of hole nucleation, growth, and coalescence. This provides a basis for a discussion of crack extension by ductile failure mechanisms, with particular reference to ways in which the constraint can be quantified in a two parameter constraint based fracture mechanics methodology.
