Present paper deals with numerical simulation of the small punch test of austenitic stainless steel, AISI 316L, which is often used in the nuclear industry. In order to m [...]

Small Punch Test (SPT) is used to determine current values of basic mechanical properties from a tiny piece of material. This non-standard type of test is preferred if th [...]

Rod cutting is an important phase of many technological procedures, which includes fast dynamic process of ductile material fracture. Explicit FE solvers seem to be the b [...]

Seven ductile fracture criteria are applied to simulation of cold forward extrusion and their performance in prediction of chevron cracks is presented. The criteria are i [...]

The paper deals with material models calibration from experiment tests on cylindrical bar. There are calibrated four ductile damage criteria, which seem to be generally w [...]
