Abstract

In this paper, simulations with a phenomenological model to describe the ductile-to-brittle transition of rate-dependent solids are presented. The model is based on consistent thermodynamic formulation using proper expressions for the Helmholtz free energy and the dissipation potential. In the model, the dissipation potential is additively split into damage and visco-plastic parts and the transition behaviour is obtained using a stress dependent damage potential. The damage is described by using a vectorial variable.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The symbols Δ and δ refer to incremental and iterative values, , , where the sub- and superscripts refer to step and iteration numbers, respectively.

  2. 2.

    This corresponds to the same case as in [5], where the damage potential (24.9) was in the scalar case was defined in a slightly different way.
