Lemaitre damage material model

Submitted by TungPhan on

The Lemaitre damage material model was developed by Lemaitre for an isotropic linear elastic virgin material with stress-strain law as follows

 \begin{equation}

 \label{eq:22}

 \sigma_{ij}=(1-D)C_{ijkl}\epsilon_{kl} \quad D\in[0,1]

 \end{equation}

 where $D$ represents the extent of damage with the damage evolution law

\begin{equation}

\label{eq:23}

D(\bar{\epsilon})=1-(1-A)\epsilon_{D_{0}}\bar{\epsilon}^{-1}-Ae^{-B(\bar{\epsilon}-\epsilon_{D_{0}})}

\end{equation}

Following a previous effort published in MRS Proceedings, we wrote a journal article of the same title, with more numerical results. While the main conclusions stay the same, a few subtle points are noted in this paper.

Viscoelastic Standard Linear Solid in ABAQUS

Submitted by natoli on

I'm trying to implement the standard linear solid (Maxwell form) in ABAQUS. I can't find anything on how the 3 constants of the SLS model get input into ABAQUS in terms of the g_i's, k_i's, and tau_i's ABAQUS uses. For example, in a relaxation test, the modulus is given by Y(t) = C_1 + C_2*exp(-C_2*t/C_3), where the C_i's are the constants. I don't know if the standard linear solid makes any assumptions about deviatoric vs dilatational behavior. Does anyone know how to do this? -Thanks, Roman
