Crack growth resistance in metallic alloys: the role of isotropic versus kinematic hardening

The sensitivity of crack growth resistance to the choice of isotropic or kinematic hardening is investigated. Monotonic mode I crack advance under small scale yielding conditions is modeled via a cohesive zone formulation endowed with a traction–separation law. R-curves are computed for materials th...
