CDM (Crack band theory)

Submitted by madhava koteshwara on

Hi, I am working on Continum damage mechanics based on crack band theory. The damage initiation is based on Hashin-Rotem theory. I am trying to simulate damage in composite laminates.

I need to store crtical values of stress and strains when Hashin-Rotem equations reaches one (when failure initiates). Is any one aware of getting unique value of critical stress and strains ?
