The void volume fraction was introduced into the finite element method to document the ductile fracture of the sheet-metal. A formulation of variation of the rigid visco-plastic material was presented according to the virtual work theory in which both the effects of equivalent stress and hydrostatic pressure in the deformation process were considered. The crack initiation of the sheet was predicted and the crack propagation was geometrically fulfilled in the simulation by separating the nodes according to the stress state. Furthermore, the influences of different state-variables on the deformation process were also studied.展开更多
