Abstract
An energy-based isotropic elastoplastic model coupled to damage is implemented in the finite element code LAGAMINE developed for more than fifteen years in the M&S department. In this model, based on the local approach of ductile fracture, effective stresses associated to damage variables are introduced. The damage law allows a continuous description of crack appearance. After a brief description of the model, its identification and its validation for an aluminum alloy are presented. Finally, the research of a global rupture criterion associated to this model is introduced.
