In this thesis, the author investigates experimentally and numerically the fracture behavior of an electron beam welded joint made from two butt S355 plates. The 2D Rousselier model, the Gurson-Tvergaard- Needleman (GTN) model and the cohesive zone model (CZM) were adopted to predict the crack propa...
