Methodology and Applications of Local Criteria for the Prediction of Ductile Tearing

  • Conference paper
Elastic-Plastic Fracture Mechanics

Abstract

Local criteria consist, within the field of continuum mechanics, in a simulation of the metallurgical damage occurring at a crack tip. The restrictions of more usual approaches such as mode I loading, plane strain state, isothermal situation, moderate yielding etc…, are no longer effective at the expense of non linear finite element calculations. Ductile damage is predicted through a simulation of cavities growth which either influences the constitutive relations or is a criterion for fracture assuming. a critical cavity size. Practically, two parameters, independent on temperature are necessary. They are measured using two different specimen geometries: one with a crack and the other one without. These two parameters allow the prediction of fracture of one mesh element in a finite element program. This procedure is used to predict crack initiation and stable crack growth in different structures.
