  1. The rapid development of 3D printing of 316L stainless steel thin-walled structures obtained by direct energy deposition has generated an increased interest in the mechanical properties of such materials for use in applications; in particular, failure models are needed to ensure structural reliability. We consider the response of uniaxial tenson specimens, with and without notches, to characterize the constitutive and failure behavior of the material. Specifically, we use numerical simulations of the notched tension experiment, achieved with a simple power- law strain hardening model and a failure criterion based on attaining a triaxiality-dependent critical strain-to-failure, to demonstrate that this model is capable of reproducing the material behavior accurately.
