The analysis of ductile fracture in the presence of notches is very important in low cycle fatigue problems. The work reported here is a part of the programme to find the ductility and strength of different materials under various conditions where the fracture occurs after considerable general yield

โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes the appearance of fractures in the vicinity of geometric singularities in cold upsetting of three series of slightly different samples between flat and spherical dies. The main goal of the research is to understand an effect of geometric singularities on ductile fracture. To this end, the series of tests are designed such that the site of fracture initiation moves to the geometric singularity, as compared to conventional tests, independently of its effect on the ductile fracture process. The paper concerns with a qualitative effect of geometric singularities on ductile fracture initiation rather than with quantitative values of parameters controlling the ductile fracture process.

Fracture toughness testing in the transition region often causes ductile tearing to precede cleavage fracture. The effect of ductile tearing on the fracture probability has in recent years become a subject of great interest. Briickner and Munz have developed a Weibull statistics based model to descr
