Comments

1. This failure model is available for Shell and Solid.
2. The failure mode criteria is written as:
   • Fiber fraction failure:
     Tensile fiber failure mode: ${\sigma }_{11}>0$ (1)

     $$e_f=\frac{{\sigma }_{11}}{{\sigma }_1^t}$$
     Compressive fiber failure mode: ${\sigma }_{11}<0$ (2)

     $$e_f=\frac{\left|{\sigma }_{11}\right|}{{\sigma }_1^c}$$
   • Inter fiber failure:
     Mode A if ${\sigma }_{22}>0$ :

     
     
     Figure 1.

     (3)

     $$e_f=\frac{1}{{\overline{\sigma }}_{12}}\left[\sqrt{{\left(\frac{{\overline{\sigma }}_{12}}{{\sigma }_2^t}-p_{12}^{+}\right)}^2{\sigma }_{22}{}^2+{\sigma }_{12}{}^2}+p_{12}^{+}{\sigma }_{22}\right]$$
     Mode C if ${\sigma }_{22}<0$ :

     
     
     Figure 2.

     (4)

     $$e_f=\left[{\left(\frac{{\sigma }_{12}}{2(1+p_{22}^{-}){\overline{\sigma }}_{12}}\right)}^2+{\left(\frac{{\sigma }_{22}}{{\sigma }_2^c}\right)}^2\right]\left(\frac{{\sigma }_2^c}{-{\sigma }_{22}}\right)$$
     Mode B

     
     
     Figure 3.

   $e_f=\frac{1}{{\overline{\sigma }}_{12}}\left(\sqrt{{\sigma }_{12}^2+{\left(p_{12}^{-}{\sigma }_{{}_{22}}\right)}^2}+p_{12}^{-}{\sigma }_{{}_{22}}\right)$

   If the damage parameter is $e_f\ge 1.0$ , the stresses are decreased by using an exponential function to avoid numerical instabilities. A relaxation technique is used by decreasing the stress gradually:(5)

   $$\sigma (t)=\mathrm{f}(t)\cdot {\sigma }_d(t_r)$$
   With,(6)

   $$\mathrm{f}(t)=\exp \left(-\frac{t-t_r}{{\tau }_{\max }}\right)$$

   and $t\ge t_r$

   Where,

   $t$

   Time

   $t_r$

   Start time of relaxation when the damage criteria is assumed

   ${\tau }_{\text{max}}$

   Time of dynamic relaxation

   ${\sigma }_d\left(t_r\right)$

   Stress at the beginning of damage

3. The damage value, D is $0\le D\le 1$ . The status for fracture is:
   • Free, if $0\le D<1$
   • Failure, if $D=1$

   With $D=\mathit{Max}\left(e_f(\mathit{tensile}),e_f(\mathit{compression}),e_f(\mathit{ModeA}),e_f(\mathit{ModeB}),e_f(\mathit{ModeC})\right)$ . This damage value shows with /ANIM/BRICK/DAMA or /ANIM/SHELL/DAMA.

4. The fail_ID is used with /STATE/BRICK/FAIL and /INIBRI/FAIL. There is no default value. If the line is blank, no value will be output for failure model variables in the /INIBRI/FAIL (written in .sta file with /STATE/BRICK/FAIL option).
5. After the failure criterion is reached, the ${\tau }_{\max }$ value determines a period of time when the stress in the failed element is gradually reduced to zero. When the stress reaches 1% of stress value at the start of failure, the element is deleted. This is necessary to avoid instabilities coming from a sudden element deletion and a failure “chain reaction” in the neighboring elements. Even if the failure criterion is reached, the default value of ${\tau }_{\max }=1.0E30$ results in no element deletion. Therefore, it is recommended to define ${\tau }_{\max }$ 10 times larger than the simulation time step.
