Modeling of Microdamage Accumulation in Anisotropic Metals and Alloys.

This paper studies the processes of fracture of barriers using the fracture criterion, allowing for consideration of large anisotropy for ultimate values of total plastic strains in various symmetry axes of an anisotropic material in conditions of sign-variable strain. All calculations were performed using the finite-element method under conditions of dynamic loading in three-dimensional graphics with the use of original software. It was shown that when modeling processes of fracture in barriers made of anisotropic and isotropic materials the differences in size and localization of fracture zones increase with the increase in the initial speed of shock loading of barriers.
