Barroco 174, 4465-591 Le¸ca do Balio, Portugal Abstract In this contribution, Lemaitre’s ductile damage model is coupled with Hill’s orthotropic plasticity criterion. The coupling between damaging and material behaviour is accounted for within the framework of Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM). The resulting constitutive equations are implemented in the Abaqus/Explicit code, for the prediction of fracture onset in sheet metal forming processes. The damage evolution law takes into account the important effect of micro-crack closure, which dramatically decreases the rate of damage growth under compressive paths. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
