Damage Evolution, Instability and Fracture in Ductile Solids

  • Chapter
Disorder and Fracture

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 204))

  • 192 Accesses

Abstract

Selected issues arising in the continuum mechanics analysis of instability and fracture in ductile metals are discussed. Three topics are considered: (i) the role of material rate dependence in setting the character of governing equations, (ii) deformation and failure in porous plastic solids and (iii) the direct calculation of fracture toughness from an analysis of the microscale ductile fracture mechanism.
