About damage and failure for ductile materials in low-cycle fatigue analysis

Abaqus/Standard offers a general capability for modeling progressive damage and failure of ductile materials due to stress reversals and the accumulation of inelastic strain energy in a low-cycle fatigue analysis using the direct cyclic approach. In the most general case this requires the specification of the following:

A summary of the general framework for progressive damage and failure in Abaqus is given in About progressive damage and failure. This section provides an overview of the damage initiation criteria and damage evolution law for ductile materials in a low-cycle fatigue analysis using the direct cyclic approach.
