The model is an extension of Gurson model in the sense that the void size effect is accounted for. Beside the void volume fraction f, the intrinsic material length l becomes a parameter representing voids since the void size comes into play in the Gurson model. Approximate yield functions in analytic forms are suggested for both solids with cylindrical microvoids and with spherical microvoids. The application to uniaxial tension curves shows a precise agreement between the approximate analytic yield function and the exact parametric form of integrals.展开更多

In this paper, ferritic steel A533B is studied, Gurson damage model is used to simulate crack process of contact tension specimen under unitension, and effect of Gurson model parameter on simulation result is discussed. The following results are found during simulation: initial porosity factor is the main parameter, when it increases gradually, unstable crack extension will be observed;however, only initial J toughness is affected by critical porosity factor;the minor parameter is load step control, when it increases, stable and convergent result is obtained. All results in this paper can be used to determine parameters in Gurson mode, which will be foundation for crack extension analysis of pipeline.展开更多

A strong mesh dependency of Gurson model is observed. The exponential form of q2 parameter shown earlier near crack tip is further modified to have a variable asymptotic value q2a away from crack tip. The asymptotic value q2a is suggested to be a function of crack-tip mesh size to overcome mesh dependency of J-R and load-displacement curves. The relation between q2a with the normalized crack-tip mesh size is determined numerically for CT and TPB specimens.展开更多
