Abstract:
Damage refers to the deterioration of materials under external influences such as mechanical loading, temperature, and environmental conditions. Extensive research has been conducted on the damage behavior of materials like steel, aluminum alloys, and titanium alloys. However, a comprehensive investigation into the range of damage values across various materials remains limited. This study focuses on examining the range of damage values for 32 aluminum alloys, widely used in aerospace, railway, automotive, and marine industries.
The damage values were determined using the Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM)-based Bhattacharya and Ellingwood model, which relies on monotonic material properties obtained from literature. Critical damage values for the alloys were found to range from 0.1 to 0.9, with plastic strain identified as the primary influencing factor. Furthermore, the variation in damage values was analyzed under different plastic strain conditions.
The findings provide a detailed understanding of critical damage values and their variability in aluminum alloys, aiding in the selection of suitable alloys for applications where damage tolerance is a critical criterion

Keywords: Aluminum alloy, damage mechanics, plastic strain, critical damage, monotonic properties
