.... Proportional loading, total deformation theory of plasticity, and power law relation are assumed. Predicted limit strains for Hill’s zero and minimum extension of localized neck orientation is derived. The dominancy of zero extension and minimum extension on the left-hand side of FLDs for different work...

...X. X. Chen; P. D. Wu; D. J. Lloyd; J. D. Embury; Y. Huang The effect of cladding a ductile layer on necking and fracture in sheet metals under plane strain tension is studied numerically using the finite element method based on the Gurson damage model. It is demonstrated that the cladding increases...

...J. P. McGarry; B. P. O’Donnell; P. E. McHugh; E. O’Cearbhaill; R. M. McMeeking This study presents a computational investigation of tensile behavior and, in particular, necking due to material inhomogeniety of cardiovascular stent struts under conditions of tensile loading. Polycrystalline strut...

... Bridgman correction factor, defined in terms of logarithmic strains and aimed at predicting the stress distribution at the necking zone, cannot properly describe the hardening response for this material. Therefore, the use of a different correction factor, which consequently leads to another set...

... necking in order to predict the entire load-minimum diameter curve of an axisymmetrical blunt notched bar under tension. A particular case is solved by a finite element modeling to check the theoretical results derived at different stages of the analysis. Contributed by the Applied Mechanics Division...
