An analysis for crack instability in an elastic-plastic strain hardening material is presented which utilizes the J-integral and the tearing modulus parameter, T. A center-cracked panel of finite dimensions with Ramberg-Osgood material representation is analyzed for plane stress as well as plane strain. The analysis is applicable in the entire range of elastic-plastic loading from linear elastic to full yield. Crack instability is strongly influenced by the elastic compliance of the system, the conditions of plane stress or plane strain, and the hardening characteristics of the material. Numerical results indicate that if crack stability is ensured in a plane strain situation, then under the same circumstances a geometrically identical but plane stress panel will be stable.

Elastic-plastic strain hardening responses of sintered porous iron are investigated. By using the yield function of Kim, two sets of constitutive equations are obtained from the constitutive theories by Kim and Suh and by Gurson. Theoretical predictions from these constitutive equations are compared with experimental data for sintered porous iron tubes with various initial porosities under combined tension and torsion.
