Abstract

Brief introduction into ductile fracture material models based on damage mechanics approach suitable for FE simulation is given in the article following with two examples of calibration. The first example introduces calibration of steel commonly used in nuclear power plant industry that was based on wide portfolio of 15 experimental specimens. The second one deals with simplified calibration of armor steel based on shooting tests.
