Abstract
The present paper deals with the experimental and numerical analysis of damage and fracture behavior of ductile metals under combined compression and shear loading. Biaxial experiments with the H-specimen using a pneumatic downholder during compression loading and corresponding numerical simulations are discussed. A thermodynamically consistent anisotropic continuum damage model using damage strains is presented. During the experiments strain fields in critical areas of the specimens are monitored by digital image correlation (DIC) technique also showing evolution of deformation in thickness direction of thin sheets. Corresponding numerical simulations reveal the stress states and details of inelastic deformation behavior.
