A consistent use of the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman damage model for the R-curve calculation

The scope of the present work is to point out a consistent simulation procedure for the quasi-static fracture processes, starting from the micro-structural characteristics of the material. To this aim, a local nine-parameters Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) damage law has been used. The damage para...
