This paper presents an experimental and numerical characterization of ductile damage evolution in steels subjected to large plastic deformations. To this end, a set of tensile tests combining load-unload tensile cycles is ...

This paper presents a novel damage mechanics based failure model enabling the prediction of low cycle fatigue life and residual strength of isotropic structures under multiaxial loading. The approach herein proposed does ...

Mechanical damage is a serious problem for the physiological potential of soybean seeds, especially when combined with chemical treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chemical treatment on the ...
