A note on calibration of ductile failure damage indicators

  • Published:
International Journal of Fracture Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

After a review of the literature on the prognosis of ductile fracture, a damage indicator is developed which is based on micromechanical results and adapted to experiments. A calibration of this damage indicator is possible by inspecting in detail a load displacement curve for a long and smooth specimen. Relation to currently published damage indicators is discussed. The damage indicators can be used to indicate the onset of a local crack in a ductile structure
