Abstract

An extended Gurson model incorporating the effects of the void shape and distribution on the growth and coalescence is proposed. The emphasis is placed on void coalescence, which is modeled as a transition from diffuse plasticity around the void to transverse localized plastic yielding in the intervoid ligament. Selected results showing the importance of correctly accounting for the void coalescence stage, as well as for the void shape and distribution effects, are presented and discussed.
