Abstract (EN):
The introduction of new effects, both in the plastic flow rule of the material and in the evolution laws for internal variables like damage, namely the importance of taking into account triaxiality and the influence of the third invariant of the deviatoric stress tensor in the modeling of mechanical behavior of metallic materials is here assessed. To solve mesh dependency associated with numerical implementation of strain softening laws a non-local approach of integral-type is used. A comprehensive assessment of several non-local models is carried out for different values of stress triaxiality and third invariant of the deviatoric stress tensor. A continuous-discontinuos model, based on the XFEM, in order to handle simultaneously large strains, damage localisation and crack propagation is discussed.
