Validation of the Two-Parameter-Fracture Criterion for various crack configurations made of 2014-T6 (TL) aluminum alloy using finite element fracture simulations.

The Two-Parameter-Fracture-Criterion (TPFC) was validated using an elastic-plastic two-dimensional (2D) finite-element code, ZIP2D, with the plane-strain-core concept. Fracture simulations were performed on three crack configurations: (1) middle-crack-tension, M(T), (2) single-edge-crack-tension, SE...
