摘要

Mechanisms of ductile failure in a compression process are studied, based on microstructural considerations, with analytical and experimental investigations performed on a cylindrical specimen. Geometrical softening is able to occur by void if the shear band is generated inside of materials. The original Gurson model is used to analyze tensile deformation, and a modified Gurson model is proposed, which incorporates damage accumulation under shear and compression. This modified Gurson model is also applied to the void closure of sintered material under compression loading. However, the compressed materials must be considered in both the void nucleation and closure, because the void is nucleated and closed at a specific angle. The results of individual analyses of nucleation and closure do not agree with observations, but the analysis considered here, of both the nucleation and closure of a void, corresponds well with experimental results.
