Importance of Deviatoric Stress in Modeling Void Growth in Ductile Fracture

Conference ·
OSTI ID:759213
In this paper, the authors extend an upper bound result of Cocks [1989] to obtain a formula for porosity growth in ductile metals. Pressure and deviatoric stress are included. The matrix plasticity model involves the plastic strain rate as a power of the deviatoric stress, with a yield stress. The results show that the deviatoric stress cannot be neglected in calculating the porosity growth, even for high triaxialities.
