Ductility prediction of HPDC aluminum alloy using a probabilistic ductile fracture model

YongfaZhangabc FuhuiShenb JiangZhengcd SebastianMünstermannb TianjiaoLic WeijianHanef ShiyaoHuangef Highlights •The microstructure and ductile fracture characteristics of the aluminum alloy (Aural-2) produced by high-pressure die casting have been thoroughly characterized via experimental and numerical approaches. •Stochastic ductile fracture property observed over a wide range of stress states of the studied material could be captured by the proposed classic ductile damage model
