Interalaminar damage model
Dear iMechanicas,
I need advices from experts regarding choosing a proper interalaminar damage model for the implementation into the theory of plates and shells. I am going to apply a failure criterion which is straight forward but concerning the degradation procedure of material properties I may need some suggestions.
Best regards,

Abaqus Hetval Subroutine
Hej guys,
Can you help me with writing a hetval subroutine? Do you have any helpful example? (I have red Abaqus documentation.)
Modelling Crack propagation in a viscoelastic material using cohesive zone modelling in abaqus.
Hello everyone,
I need to validate crack propagation in a viscoelastic material using Cohesive Zone Modelling. I have given following properties as fracture criterion.
Damage initiation= MAXS damage, Normalstress=Shear1=Shear2=3.4MPa.
Damage Propagation:
Type: Energy,
Softening: Exponential
Degradation: Maximum
Mixed mode behaviour: Power Law
Mode mix ratio: Energy
Power:1
Fracture energy(Normal)=Shear1=Shear2=274J/m2.
