Nonlinear fracture mechanics. Volume 2. Elastic-plastic fracture

Book ·
OSTI ID:5424686
Papers are presented on such topics as the experimental and numerical validation of a ductile fracture local criterion based on cavity growth simulation, plasticity near a blunt flaw under remote tension, the evaluation of steel toughness using various elastic-plastic fracture toughness parameters, and fracture mechanics tests on welded joints. Consideration is also given to a methodology for ductile fracture analysis based on damage mechanics, the prediction of critical crack size in plastically strained welded panels, and a combined statistical and constraint model for the ductile-brittle transition region.
