Ductile Fracture Behavior of Mild and High-Tensile Strength Shipbuilding Steels

A comparison is made of the ductility limits of one mild (normal) and two high-tensile strength shipbuilding steels with an emphasis on stress state and loading path dependency. To describe the ductile fracture behavior of the considered steels accurately, an alternative form of ductile fracture pre...

description A comparison is made of the ductility limits of one mild (normal) and two high-tensile strength shipbuilding steels with an emphasis on stress state and loading path dependency. To describe the ductile fracture behavior of the considered steels accurately, an alternative form of ductile fracture prediction model is presented and calibrated. The present fracture model combines the normalized Cockcroft–Latham and maximum shear stress criterion, and is dependent on both stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter. The calibrations indicate that, depending on the hardening characteristics of the steels, ductile fracture behavior differs considerably with stress state. It is demonstrated that the adopted fracture model is able to predict the ductile fracture initiation in various test specimens with good accuracy and is flexible in addressing the observed differences in the ductile fracture behavior of the considered steel grades.
