Abstract

This paper is a contribution to the phenomenological modeling of damage evolution in DP steels in the framework of Gurson's approach. It is based on recent results of X-ray tomography in-situ tensile tests and subsequent one-dimensional metallurgical void nucleation models proposed in [C. Landron et al., Scripta Materialia 63 (2010) 973–976]. A macroscopic void nucleation law for DP steels is proposed, covering a wide range of stress triaxialities. The respective effects of nucleation, growth and coalescence are clearly separated. Validations with respect to experimental porosity measurements were performed for several monotonic loading cases and for two loading sequences involving large strains and strain-path changes.
