This paper reviews studies on the prediction of ductile fracture during metal forming using an ellipsoidal void model and some other models proposed by the author and some relevant studies. Section 2 discusses the research on the theory of voids for predicting ductile fracture during metal forming. Section 3 summarizes the simulation method for predicting ductile fracture during metal forming using the ellipsoidal void model, and Section 4 summarizes the simulation result on the ductile fracture prediction during metal forming using the ellipsoidal void model. Section 5 shows the applicability of the ellipsoidal void model and the simulation result on the ductile fracture prediction during metal forming using some other models.
