Abstract

The paper discusses the effect of stress state on ductile damage behavior. The continuum model has been generalized to take into account stress state dependence of the damage criterion with branches corresponding to different damage mechanisms depending on the stress triaxiality and the Lode parameter. Experiments with differently notched tension and shear specimens taken from aluminum sheets are used to identify basic material parameters. Additional series of micro-mechanical numerical analyses of void containing unit cells have been performed to be able to get more insight in the complex damage and failure behavior of ductile metals. These calculations cover a wide range of stress triaxialities and Lode parameters. The numerical results are used to show general trends, to develop equations for the damage criterion, and to identify material parameters of the continuum model.
