Abstract In the present paper, Gurson's constitutive equation, which takes into account the development of voids, is used to study the behaviour of the material in the region near crack tip. Furthermore, the effect of void development on Young's modulus, which was not considered by Gurson, is taken into consideration. The analyses on void development, on stress distribution near crack tip, and on the variance of COD for the plane strain mode I problem are carried out with the large elastic-plastic deformation finite element method. The results are compared with those estimated from the Prandtl-Reuss constitutive equation.
