Geometry Transferability of Lemaitre's Continuum Damage Mechanics Model in the Plane Stress Specimens

Abstract:

Different damage mechanics models have been proposed by researchers to calibrate the failure behavior of materials. Continuum damage mechanics (CDM) models are one of the main categories of damage models that can be exploited in numerical simulations. In this paper Lemaitres damage model, has been applied to finite element models of flat specimens. These models allow assessing the geometry transferability of the previously calibrated CDM model investigating in different geometry and loading conditions. Four different types of plane stress specimens have been designed to get different stress triaxialities which cover shear dominant and high triaxiality failure. Experimental tests were also done and the obtained data were critically compared with the results from numerical models. The tested material is Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy which is a widely used material in aerospace industry because of its high strength and low density.
