A theoretical study of steady-state wedge cutting through metal plates
The process of steady-state wedge cutting through steel plates is investigated by analyzing experimental data and develo** a simple and realistic model of the problem. Kinematics of the cutting process is di...

Ductile fracture in sheets under transverse strain gradients
The fully plastic fracture of a metal sheet subjected to a small transverse gradient of tensile strain near a reinforcement is modeled as mode I fracture under transverse plane strain (TPS). Necking and fractu...

Ductile fracture before localized necking in a strip under tension
Unexpected cracking with a 22° opening angle grew out of a rough-sheared edge before appreciable necking in an 0.79 by 37 mm mild steel strip, which normally fractures after diffuse and then localized oblique ...
