Hi all.
I am modeling a problem of a Double Cantilever Beam in Ansys 11.0,
using Exponential and Bi-linear Cohesive Laws.
For the Bi-Linear law, Ansys needs to introduce 6 constants, like the Critical Fracture Energy Gc, the normal stress σ...
The fifth constant, η, is the artificial damping coefficient, introduced to improve the convergence to solution.
Can you help me to understand the nature of this parameter?
Which values of this damping coefficient must be considered for a good modeling of the problem?
