Micro-Mechanisms and Modeling of Ductile Fracture Initiation in Structural Steel after Exposure to Elevated Temperatures

This paper aims to (1) study ductile fracture behavior, and (2) provide a computational tool for predicting fracture initiation in ASTM A572 Gr. 50 structural steels under axisymmetric tension loading are heated to elevated temperatures and cooled down in air and in water. Employing the post-fire te...
