Abstract
In this study, a combined experimental and numerical procedure that based on extended analysis of stresses, strains, and damage of the specimen notch region, was proposed to investigate high-strength steel and pure nickel metals. Miniaturized notched tensile specimens with different notch radii were used to generate various levels of triaxial stress, and to evaluate stress-dependent failure. It was shown that the triaxiality plays a major role in the damage evolution demonstrated by decreasing ductility. The experimental investigation was supplemented by scanning electron microscopy observations of fractured surfaces. The deformation mechanisms leading to the failure ware linked with the extensions of the Gurson model for porous ductile metals. The evolution of damage in both materials was compared and discussed.
