A complete Gurson model approach for ductile fracture

Recently, a complete Gurson model has been introduced by the authors. The complete Gurson model is a combination of the modified Gurson model which deals with microvoid nucleation and growth, and a physical microvoid coalescence criterion based on the plastic limit load model by Thomason. By comparing finite element cell modeling analyses, the complete Gurson model is accurate for both non-hardening and hardening materials. One attractive...
