A Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Void Coalescence Causing Ductile Fracture

A series of experiments and finite-element simulations were performed in order to assess existing void coalescence criteria and propose a new model for the coalescence of cylindrical holes in a pure metal matrix during uniaxial stretching. The finite-element simulations were performed so that variou...
