User subroutine to define damage variable for the Mullins effect material model.

User subroutine UMULLINS:

  • can be used to define the damage variable for the Mullins effect material model, including the use of the Mullins effect approach to model energy dissipation in elastomeric foams;

  • will be called at all material calculation points of elements for which the material definition contains a user-defined Mullins effect; and

  • should be used when you do not want to use the Ogden and Roxburgh form of the damage variable, η, that is used by Abaqus/Standard.
