PREDICTING DUCTILE FRACTURE DURING TORSION TESTING USING ELLIPSOIDAL VOID MODEL AND ANALYTICAL MODEL

Research on ductile fracture under high stress triaxiality has been performed considerably, whereas research on ductile fracture under low stress triaxiality has not been performed sufficiently. In this paper, torsion testing of a bar which is prestrained by drawing is performed using a torsion testing machine, and ductile fracture during torsion testing is predicted using an ellipsoidal void model and an analytical model.
