..., indicating that brittle fracture does not take place. An analytical approach based on the Johnson–Cook constitutive relation, the Cockcroft–Latham ductile failure criterion, and a simple brittle fracture criterion is presented. The model suggests that ductile fracture prevails for most realistic material...

Theoretical predictions for the width of these regions enable us to estimate the validity of analytical strain distributions, and in turn the maximum strains in the film. These results help avoiding brittle fracture or ductile yielding of the film...

...K. Y. Volokh A softening hyperelastic continuum model is proposed for analysis of brittle fracture. Isotropic material is characterized by two standard parameters—shear and bulk modulus—and an additional parameter of the volumetric separation work . The model can be considered as a volumetric...
