Ductile Fracture Characterization for Medium Carbon Steel Using Continuum Damage Mechanics

Abstract: This paper presents the ductility characterization for a medium carbon steel, for two microstructural conditions, that has been evaluated using the continuum damage mechanics theory, as proposed by Kachanov and developed by Lemaitre. Tensile tests were carried out using loading-unloading cycles in order to capture the gradual deterioration of the elastic modulus, which may be linked to the ductile damage increase with increasing plastic strain. The mechanical parameters for the isotropic damage evolution equat… Show more

“…Moreover, other researchers have reported similar results, despite differences in carbon concentration and microstructural characteristics. [ 52 ] There was a reduction of 10.6% for AR1, 18.8% for HT2, and 13.6% for HT3 when comparing the initial modulus of elasticity of each material with the modulus of elasticity obtained in the unloading cycle at the uniform deformation. Three main factors explain the elasticity modulus degradation: displacement of mobile dislocation and pile‐ups near the grain boundaries or solutes, damage evolution due to microcrack generation, and increased residual stresses.…”

“…A uniaxial cyclic tensile test is needed to obtain a relationship between the isotropic damage on a ductile material versus plastic strain. [ 50–53 ] The damage evolution can be estimated using Equation (1), where E * is the modulus of elasticity of an individual unloading cycle, and E is the dual‐phase steel modulus of elasticity. Therefore, the cumulative damage evolution can be plotted against the true strain per cycle, and the resultant curve represents the progressive decrease of stiffness due to each deformation cycle. Ω = 1 E * E …”
