Study of the transition from strain localization to fracture of Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si alloy by experiments and phase-field modeling

Many metal materials possess the transition from strain localization to fracture, the so-called post-necking behavior, during large deformation under tensile load. It is crucial to understand and characterize the transition for the application of these materials. In this paper, the stress state dependence of the transition from strain localization to fracture of Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si alloy is characterized and analyzed by carrying out...
