A Simple Calibrated Ductile Fracture Model and Its Application in Failure Analysis of Steel Connections

A new fracture model is developed to predict the ductile fracture of structural steel under multiaxial stress states. First, the Lee–Mear void growth theory is used to establish the quantitative relationship between the stress triaxiality and material’s ductility. A stress triaxiality dependence fun...
