Finite Fracture Mechanics Assessment in Moderate and Large Scale Yielding Regimes
The coupled Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM) criteria are applied to investigate the ductile failure initiation at blunt U-notched and V-notched plates under mode I loading conditions.The FFM approaches are based on the simultaneous fulfillment of Cushion Stools the energy balance and a stress requirement, and they involve two material properties, n
