Gradient Damage Models and Their Use to Approximate Brittle Fracture

Kim Pham, Hanen Amor, Jean‐Jacques Marigo et al. · 25 Nov 2010

In its numerical implementation, the variational approach to brittle fracture approximates the crack evolution in an elastic solid through the use of gradient damage models. In this article, we first formulate the quasi-static evolution problem for a general class of such damage models. Then, we introduce a stability criterion in terms of the positivity of…

Continuum Models of Ductile Fracture: A Review

Jacques Besson · 23 Apr 2009

The past 20 years have seen substantial work on the modeling of ductile damage and fracture. Several factors explain this interest. (i) There is a growing demand to provide tools which allow to increase the efficiency of structures (reduce weight, increase service temperature or load, etc.) while keeping or increasing safety. This goal is indeed…

An Irreversible Thermodynamics Theory for Damage Mechanics of Solids

Cemal Basaran, Shihua Nie · 22 Jun 2004

The entropy production is a non-negative quantity based on irreversible thermodynamics and thus serves as a basis for the systematic description of the irreversible processes occurring in a solid. In this paper, a thermodynamic framework has been presented for damage mechanics of solid materials, where entropy production is used as the sole measure of damage…

A hybrid approach for modelling of plasticity and failure behaviour of advanced high-strength steel sheets

Junhe Lian, Mohamed Sharaf, Fady Mamdouh Fawzy Archie et al. · 27 Mar 2012

The ductile damage mechanisms dominating in modern high-strength steels have emphasised the significance of the onset of damage and the subsequent damage evolution in sheet metal forming processes. This paper contributes to the modelling of the plasticity and ductile damage behaviour of a dual-phase steel sheet by proposing a new damage mechanics approach derived from…
