Abstract
In recent work, the author and co-workers have developed a new methodology to delocalize the damage in Gurson model for porous ductile materials. The motivation was to rectify the difficulties connected to the excessive damage smoothing arising in the practical use of the original damage delocalization method. The new approach consists of delocalizing the logarithm of the damage instead of the damage itself. The relevance of the new method to avoid mesh size effects and satisfactorily reproduce typical ductile fracture experiments are explored in this work.
