Abstract
Finite element simulations of PLC effects in notched and CT (compact tensile) specimens of aluminium alloys are presented, based on a macroscopic PLC constitutive model. They predict the formation and propagation of intense strain rate localization bands. In particular, the predicted size of the plastic zone around the crack tip in a pre-cracked CT specimen is compared to the value found when using a standard elastoplastic model neglecting PLC effects.
