Abstract
An overview is given of the continuum mechanics of void growth pertaining to room temperature ductile fracture processes. Analyses of the growth of isolated voids and of void interaction effects are reviewed. A framework for phenomenological constitutive relations for porous plastic solids is discussed. Calculations of localization and failure in porous plastic solids are reviewed that illustrate the progressive development of ductile failure. Additional considerations, including the effect of the constraint provided by contact between the growing void and the void-nucleating particle, cavitation, and the effect of non-uniform porosity distributions are briefly noted.
