I have a problem on shear failure for the material Ti-6Al-4v with ABAQUS
hello, every one
recently,I need to develop model on the material of Ti-6Al-4v with Abaqus, I will use both Johnson-cook damage and shear damage for damage evolution,however, i am confused on the parameters for shear failure:
1)the parameter "ks", i can't find this value on internet;
2)the fracture energy for damage evolution in shear failure, the value should be the same with Johnson-cook,help example gives the same value, but i think it should be KII value for shear fracture,not KI.

Mellichamp Chair in Systems Biology, UC Santa Barbara, College of Engineering
Mellichamp Chair in Systems Biology. The University of California Santa Barbara seeks to hire a highly creative and productive individual to fill a Mellichamp Chair in Systems Biology. The opening has resulted from a philanthropic gift that has been generously donated by Duncan and Suzanne Mellichamp.
Candidates at all levels will be considered. The primary academic appointment will be in either Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, with a possible joint appointment in a related science department.
Strain Induced Growth Instability and Island Nucleation on Patterned Substrate
Strain induced self-assembly provides an attractive route to nanofabrication of semiconductor quantum dots on surfaces. Recent experiments have demonstrated that combining the strain induced self-assembly with surface patterning provides an effective method to further improve the size uniformity and spatial ordering of quantum dots. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for such improvement remain poorly understood. Recently, we have developped theoretical models to elucidate the strain induced growth instability and island nucleation on patterned substrates.
