The Effect of Various Notches on the Prediction of the Ductile Fracture for SUS304 Sheets

Abstract:

In this study, the Drucker yield function and S-shaped strain hardening model are employed to describe the yielding and hardening behaviors of SUS304 respectively. An uncoupled ductile fracture criterion is calibrated and then utilized to construct the fracture locus of SUS304. To explore the effect of various notches on the prediction of ductile fracture, the constitutive models and ductile fracture criterion are then introduced into the ABAQUS/Explicit code to predict the onset of ductile fracture of various notched specimens. The comparison demonstrates that the ductile fracture criterion captures the fracture strains for all specimens with different notch radius accurately and the finite element models predict the strain distribution, strain evolution and load-stroke curves with good agreement for specimens with large notch radius compared with the experimental results.
