Ductile Fracture by Void Growth to Coalescence Chapter

abstract

• Publisher Summary An important failure mechanism in ductile metals and their alloys is by growth and coalescence of microscopic voids. In structural materials, the voids nucleate at inclusions and second-phase particles by decohesion of the particlematrix interface or by particle cracking. Void growth is driven by plastic deformation of the surrounding matrix. Early micromechanical treatments of this phenomenon considered the growth of isolated voids. Later, constitutive equations for porous ductile solids were developed based on homogenization theory. Among these, the most widely known model was developed by Gurson for spherical and cylindrical voids.
