According to experiments for cyclic fatigue damage at high temperature and dynamic loading, the localization of plastic deformation strongly depends upon the strain rate and wave shape, especially in nonlinear failure processes. Here, the authors analyze the plastic localization by considering plastic non-normality, plastic strain-induced anisotropy with kinematic hardening, softening generated by nucleation, growth and coalescence of microcracks, thermal plastic softening and expansion, fracture criterion based on damage evolution, rate sensitivity, and plastic spin. The relaxation time is used as a regularization parameter. The authors give the results of tests in figures showing fracture modes corresponding to different slow-fast cycles. Application of constitutive assumptions and methods which relate the fracture with porosity in the catastrophic limit leads to final field equations which are transformed into equivalent integral equations. To solve these equations numerically, the authors develop a finite difference method and investigate its convergence and stability. The authors also perform an identification procedure for functions characterizing the behaviour of materials. Numerical results are given for a specimen with hole.
