Question about Smeared Crack models

Submitted by Superheru on

Hi, I want to ask you guys about how to model an unconfined conrete material with smeared crack model in abaqus 6.10, especially about what kind of parameter should I use and how much the value of parameter. I would really appreciate if you could give me some tutorial, explanation, or even an example of how should I model a smeared crack model in abaqus.

 

Thanks.
