Abstract
Fragmentation of rings subjected to radial expansion is analysed for material having a viscoplastic with strain hardening
behavior. Using a linear stability technique, the growth rate of a perturbation is evaluated and dynamic necking is captured.
Due to the interplay between biaxial flow effect and inertia, a finite wavelength associated to the largest growth rate is
selected, which will define the size of fragments. The effect of the ring radius is clearly shown. Finally, calculations obtained
with the present approach provide fragment size in agreement with experimental data [1].
