Abstract

Theoretical and experimental study of interaction between variously oriented voids and cracks in a plastic medium is presented in an attempt to obtain a deeper insight into the processes of ductile failure in metals. Theoretical analysis is based on the slip-line technique. Experiments were performed with the use of specimens made of ductile metals. In these specimens systems of holes or slits simulating voids and cracks were prepared. Experimental results substantiate theoretical analysis and demonstrate the interaction between softening and hardening effects during the process of ductile failure in metals.
