Description

This is the Xue-Wierzbicki failure criterion. The material will fail once the damage parameter, $D$, has evolved from 0 to 1. The damage growth rate is defined as:

$\displaystyle{ \dot D = \frac{\dot\varepsilon_{eff}^p}{\varepsilon_f}}$

where $\varepsilon_f$ is the failure strain, defined as:

$\displaystyle{ \varepsilon_f = c_1\cdot exp(-c_2\cdot \eta) - \left( c_1\cdot exp(-c_2\cdot \eta) - c_3\cdot exp(-c_4\cdot \eta)\right)\cdot\left(1-\theta^{1/n}\right)^n}$

The failure strain is a function of stress triaxiality, $\eta$, and lode parameter, $\theta$.
