Localized Necking Model for Punching Fracture Simulation in Unstiffened and Stiffened Panels
The ductile fracture of thin-shell structures was studied here using a localized necking model. The punching experiments for unstiffened and stiffened panels were compared with numerical predictions using a combined ductile fracture and localized necking
