This paper deals with some general properties of a ductile fracture criterion, which generalizes two ductile fracture criteria conventionally adopted for metal forming analysis and design. The results are valid for a wide class of material models applicable to both cold and hot metal formings. It is expected that the theoretical features of the fracture criterion emphasized in the present paper can be useful for its experimental verification or for determining its parameters from the experiment.
