Abstract
This paper assesses various newly developed ductile fracture criteria including modified Mohr-Coulomb (MMC), DF2012, DF2014, DF2016, Hu-Chen and Mu-Zang, which were all proposed in the last decade. The AA2024-T351 is used for the assessment by comparing the predicted fracture limits to the experimental results both in strain and stress spaces. Fracture loci are also constructed by these criteria to evaluate their characteristics. The evaluation demonstrates that the Lode parameter and stress triaxiality should be properly coupled for reasonable modeling of ductile fracture in wide loading conditions. This study also shows that the coupling of the Lode parameter can also be realized by introducing the effect of the largest shear stress in fracture criteria.
