Numerical simulation for studying constraint effect on ductile fracture initiation using complete Gurson model

Ductile fracture initiation in high-strength low alloyed welded steel joints is predicted using micromechanical complete Gurson model (CGM). The crack tip constraint and variation of stress triaxiality in ligament are considered on single-edge notch bend SE(B) and compact tension C(T) specimens, inc...

Description
Summary:Ductile fracture initiation in high-strength low alloyed welded steel joints is predicted using micromechanical complete Gurson model (CGM). The crack tip constraint and variation of stress triaxiality in ligament are considered on single-edge notch bend SE(B) and compact tension C(T) specimens, including the effect of strength mismatching and different weld metal width. According to the analysis of stress triaxiality in front of the crack tip, transferability of fracture initiation parameter was studied. As a result of the analyses on specimens, fracture initiation parameter determined by using CGM can be transferred from one geometry to another if their triaxial conditions are found to be similar.
