  Abstract

  In this work, ductility limits of metallic materials, associated with the occurrence of strain localization, are predicted using the GTN damage model coupled with bifurcation theory. The resulting approach is implemented into the finite element code ABAQUS within the framework of large plastic strains and a fully three-dimensional formulation. A parametric study with respect to damage and hardening parameters is conducted in order to identify the most influential material parameters on strain localization. The analysis shows that the damage parameters have a significant impact on the predicted ductility limits, while the effect of hardening parameters on strain localization depends on the choice of void nucleation mechanism.
