Book Description
This study investigates the effect of moving load on ductile fracture of shipbuilding metals through numerical simulation. Quinton [1,2] and Alsos [3] investigated moving load's effect on metals, in the plastic regime, and found that moving load results in a significant reduction in plastic capacity of metals. This study complements their work by extending the scope of the work up to ductile fracture initiation which was accomplished by implementing state-of-art ductile fracture model in moving loading scenario. A state-of-art ductile fracture model has been implemented in this study by incorporating the knowledge acquired by research in the fracture mechanics arena. A stress state based fracture locus with strain rate and temperature effects has been selected as the ductile fracture criteria accordingly. Finite Element Method with Explicit Time Integration scheme deemed appropriate for numerical simulation and LS-DYNA has been chosen to accomplish this consequently. This study attempts to mitigate two significant limitations of maritime structural assessment techniques associated with ship-ice interaction; undue simplification of load definition and over conservatism on fracture strain selection. Ship-ice interaction is considered as stationary loading scenario while it should be categorised as moving loading condition in accidental overloading situations. In addition, these techniques also regard fracture strain to be constant and independent of stress state, whereas studies show that ductile fracture initiation is highly dependent on the stress state. This study provides a method to incorporate stress-state dependent state-of-art ductile fracture model for numerical investigation of moving load.

Book Description
This thesis sought to investigate and develop valid numerical approaches to predict ductile fracture under different stress state and loading conditions. As the first portion of this work, the plastic flow and fracture behaviors of three aluminum alloys (5083-H116, 6082-T6 and 5183 weld metal) under the effects of strain rate and temperature were studied through a series of experiments and finite element analyses. The fracture behavior under the influential factor of stress triaxiality was also studied. The applicability of the Johnson-Cook plasticity and fracture models were investigated with mixed results. For all three materials, the dependency of the failure strain on triaxiality is adequately described. The stress state effect on plasticity and ductile fracture behaviors was further explored for aluminum alloy 5083-H116 through tests on plane strain specimens and torsion specimens, focusing on the third deviatoric stress invariant (lode angle). A stress state dependent plasticity model, J2-J3 model, together with the Xue-Wierzbicki fracture criterion which defined the damage parameter as a function of the stress triaxiality and the Lode angle, was implemented and calibrated with the test data. The calibrated model was utilized to study the residual stress effect on ductile fracture resistance, using compact tension specimens with residual stress fields generated from a local out-of-plane compression approach. Fracture tests with positive and negative residual stresses were conducted on the C(T) specimens. Both experimental and finite element results showed significant effect of residual stress on ductile fracture resistance. In an attempt to predict ductile fracture under shear-dominated conditions, this study combined the damage mechanics concept with the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman porous plasticity model that accounts for void nucleation, growth and coalescence. The GTN model was extended by coupling two damage parameters, representing volumetric damage and shear damage respectively, into the yield function and flow potential. The new model was validated through a series of numerical tests in comparison with existing GTN type models, and applied to predict the ductile fracture behaviors of a beta-treated Zircaloy-4. With model parameters calibrated using experimental data, the model was able to predict failure initiation and propagation in various specimens experiencing a wide range of stress states.

Book Description
"Numerical simulations mainly using finite element method are playing a more and more important role in prediction of fracture-induced failure for high performance structure. This thesis seeks to develop numerical approaches to predict ductile and cleavage fracture in structural materials. For ductile fracture, the discrete void approach reveals the failure mechanisms explicitly and is used to study the trends of fracture toughness. The porous continuum approach provides an effective means to predict extensive crack propagation. We consider the occurrence of material failure (void coalescence) as when localization of plastic flow takes place in the inter-void ligament and obtain the failure criterion as a function of the stress triaxiality ratio and the Lode angle. The Gologanu-Leblond Devaux (GLD) model, which accounts for the evolution of both void volume and void shape, is used to describe the porous placticity behavior and is implemented into ABAQUS via a user subroutine. Numerical simulations are performed to predict extensive crack growth in ductile solids for a thin aluminum 2024-T3 plate and verified by successful predication of crack extension in various specimens, including the multiple site damage speciments. The effect of stress triaxiality and Lode angle is further analyzed and the Xue-Wierzbicki fracture locus is employed as a criterion for void colescence. Combination of GLD model and X-W fracture locus is then applied to a DH-36 steel with specimens experiencing a wide range of stress triaxiality and Lode angles at failure. The numerical simulation results agree very well with the experimental results. For cleavage fracture, a modified three parameter Weibull stress model is proposed and used to predict the fracture of A508 steel at three different temperatures. By integrating the Weibull stress model over the plastic process zone, the failure probability can be obtained and comparison is made with the experiment result. Issues addressed include calibration of the model parameters, introduction of a threshold parameter, dependencies of the model parameters on temperature, plastic strain effect and crack tip triaxiality effect, etc."--Abstract.

Book Description
One of the most important limit states in structural metals is ductile fracture, and the prediction of ductile fracture is of great importance in many engineering applications. The overall objective of the research reported in this dissertation is to advance the understanding and modeling of ductile fracture in metals. This research addresses three main issues: micromechanical modeling of ductile fracture, the development of a micromechanics-based ductile fracture model and its numerical implementation, and a numerical investigation of geometry and damage induced strain localization based on a nonlocal formulation. It has long been recognized that stress triaxiality is a key parameter affecting initiation of ductile fracture. More recently, shear stress has been identified as another important parameter, in addition to stress triaxiality, that influences the process of ductile fracture. In this research, a micromechanics-based model is proposed for predicting initiation of ductile fracture that couples both stress triaxiality and shear stress. The new model is based on a combination of the existing Rice-Tracey and modified maximum shear stress models. The new model is applied to construct the fracture locus of different types of metal alloys and is used to predict fracture initiation by numerical tools. The predicted results are in good agreement with experimental data reported in literature that covers a wide range of triaxialities and shear stress. Another portion of this research, within the framework of micromechanics, investigated the effect of combined normal and shear stress components on micro-void evolution and material behavior. This work involved finite element modeling of a cubic unit cell associated with a spherical void. The results show that the void growth process and macroscopic stress-strain response is highly dependent on the shear stress component. At different ranges of triaxialities, and with different void growth and coalescence mechanisms, shear stress has an important effect on the ductile fracture process. Numerical modeling of strain localization in ductile metals based on standard continuum mechanics exhibits non-convergent mesh sensitivity. This issue is addressed in the final portion of this research. A one-dimensional model based on the nonlocal theory is proposed to analyze geometry-induced strain localization, i.e., necking in structural metals. A nonlocal continuum damage model using the same enhanced continuum law is developed to deal with the damage induced strain localization in metals. Both models provide encouraging performance in eliminating the non-convergent mesh sensitivity problem. Such improved strain localization modeling techniques show potential to be useful for further exploration of ductile fracture phenomena.

Book Description
The objective of this research was to further develop two models that are capable of predicting crack growth in ductile materials. In this study, we measured CTOA (crack tip opening angle) at elevated temperatures for a stainless steel and aluminum alloy 2014-T6. The CTOA curves were then used as the fracture criterion to simulate crack extension and instability in thin-walled cylinders subjected to localized intense heat. The commercial finite element code ABAQUS was used in conjunction with a user subroutine to implement the CTOA fracture criterion to perform the simulation. The result of the numerical simulations indicated that the effect of temperature on the level of burst pressure of the cylinder is not very significant. One explanation for this interesting behavior is that the heated zone that contains the crack would be subject to compressive stresses because of a greater thermal expansion. In this study, an analytical damage length (DL) model has been further developed to account for the thermal effect in addition to the large deflection effect. The DL model was also used to predict the burst pressure of steel and aluminum cylinders and the results are compared favorably with those predicted by the CTOA approach.
