[en] In the present contribution, a new advanced Gurson model [1] is developed. This new model is an extension of the initial one, to the plastic anisotropy and the mixed (isotropic+ kinematic) hardening of the fully dense matrix. The nucleation and the growth phases are considered by integrating the empirical laws developed by Bouaziz et al. [2] in this new model. These laws, identified on the basis of X-ray microtomography results, display the triaxiality effect on the nucleation and the growth of cavities. This advanced Gurson model is implemented into a finite element code by using an implicit-explicit integration scheme. FE simulations study the behavior of a sample submitted to tensile test and assess the influence of nucleation and growth laws on the formability of this sample.
