Strain softening behavior

Strain softening behavior

Submitted by Gamal on

hi my friends, i am new in abaqus, i want to use Mohr-Couloumb plasticity to simulate the uniaxial compression of a coal sample, the behavior of coal is stain softening, i want to know how many data points should i use in the hardening menu of Mohr-coloumb plasticity (cohesion yeild stress & Absolute plastic strain ).

you know that the strain sofening bhavior has yield point and peak and then post peak (softening).

when i make the simulation i used 3 data points
