AbstractDuctile failure of polymeric samples weakened by circular arc cracks is studied theoretically and experimentally in this research. Various arrangements of cracks with different arc angles are considered in the specimens such that crack tips experienced the mixed mode I/II loading conditions. Fracture tests are conducted on the multi-cracked specimens and their fracture loads are achieved. To provide the results, the equivalent material concept (EMC) is used in conjunction of dislocation method and a brittle fracture criterion such that there is no necessity for performing complex and time-consuming elastic-plastic damage analyses. Theoretical and experimental stress intensity factors are computed and compared with each other by employing the fracture curves which demonstrate the appropriate efficiency of proposed method to predict the tests results.

In spite of this progress in predicting ductile failure, the development of macroscopic yield criteria for describing damage evolution in HCP (hexagonal close-packed) materials remains a challenge. HCP materials display strength differential effects (i.e., different behavior in tension versus compression) in the plastic response due to twinning. Cazacu and Stewart [1] developed an analytic yield criterion for a porous material containing randomly distributed spherical voids in an isotropic, incompressible matrix that displays tension-compression asymmetry. The matrix material was taken to obey the isotropic form of the Cazacu et al. [2] yield criterion, which captures the tension-compression asymmetry of the matrix material. In this paper, finite element calculations of a round tensile bar are conducted with the material behavior described by the Cazacu and Stewart [1] yield criterion. The goal of these calculations is to investigate the effect of the tension-compression asymmetry on the necking induced by void evolution and propagation.

Mechanical degradation and ductile failure in metal forming operations can be successfully modelled using fully coupled damage models. In addition, it has been largely reported in the literature that temperature variations affect material behaviour, especially thermal softening. This paper presents a numerical discussion of the coupled effects between ductile damage and temperature evolution based on the simulation of tensile tests of notched specimens.
