Defining uncoupled force-based damage initiation
For an uncoupled force-based damage initiation criterion, the connector force in the specified component is compared to the specified limit values. Damage is initiated when the force in the specified component i, , is for the first time outside the range ( f _ { i } \leq f _ { m i n } \ \mathrm { o r } \ f _ { i } \geq f _ { m a x } ) .

Defining coupled force-based damage initiation
For a coupled force-based damage initiation criterion, a connector potential, , must be specified to define an equivalent force magnitude (scalar). The equivalent force magnitude is compared to the specified limit values to assess damage initiation. Damage is initiated when the equivalent force magnitude, , is for the first time outside the range ( P ( \mathbf { f } ) \leq f _ { m i n } or P ( \mathbf { f } ) \geq f _ { m a x } ) .

Plastic motion–based damage initiation criterion
The damage initiation criterion can be specified in terms of an equivalent relative plastic motion in the connector. You provide the relative equivalent plastic displacement/rotation at which damage will be initiated as a function of the relative equivalent plastic rate. The output variable CDIP can be used to monitor the proximity to the damage initiation point.
Defining uncoupled plastic damage initiation
For an uncoupled elastic-plastic or rigid plastic damage initiation criterion, uncoupled connector plasticity in the specified component of relative motion must be defined (see “Connector plastic behavior,” Section 31.2.6). When the equivalent relative plastic motion as defined by the associated plasticity definition is greater than the specified limit value for the first time, damage is initiated.

Defining coupled plastic damage initiation
For a coupled elastic-plastic or rigid plastic damage initiation criterion, coupled connector plasticity must be defined. The connector potential used in the coupled connector plasticity function defines an equivalent relative plastic motion. This equivalent relative plastic motion is compared to the specified limit values to assess damage initiation. The equivalent relative plastic motion at which damage is initiated can be a function of the mode-mix ratio \Psi _ { m } (see “Connector plastic behavior,” Section 31.2.6).

Constitutive motion-based damage initiation criterion
The damage initiation criterion can be specified in terms of relative constitutive displacements/rotations in the connector. You provide the lower (compression) limit, u _ { m i n } , and the upper (tension) limit, u _ { m a x } , , for the constitutive displacement/rotation damage initiation values. If the motion is outside the range specified by the two limit values, damage is initiated. The output variable CDIM can be used to monitor the proximity to the damage initiation point.
Defining uncoupled constitutive motion-based damage initiation
For an uncoupled motion-based damage initiation criterion, the connector relative constitutive motion in the specified component is compared to the specified limit values. Damage is initiated when the relative constitutive displacement/rotation in the specified component \mathbf { \textit { i } } u _ { i } , is for the first time outside the range ( u _ { i } \ \leq \ u _ { m i n } \ \mathrm { o r } \ u _ { i } \ \geq \ u _ { m a x } ) .

Defining connector damage evolution
Connector damage evolution specifies the evolution law for the damage variable. Upon evolution, the connector response will be degraded. The evolution of damage can be based on an energy dissipation criterion or on relative (plastic) motions. In the motion-based criteria the damage variable, d, can be defined as a linear, exponential, or tabular function of relative motions.
The damage evolution law can depend on temperature and field variables. See “Input syntax rules,” Section 1.2.1, for further information about defining data as functions of temperature and field variables.
Specifying the affected components
By default (i.e., the affected components are not specified explicitly), only the elastic/rigid or elastic/rigid-plastic response in the connector will be damaged. The response due to friction, damping, and stop/lock behavior will not be degraded. For an uncoupled connector damage mechanism (uncoupled damage initiation criterion), only the specified component of relative motion will undergo damage. For coupled connector damage initiation, the components that will be degraded by default are chosen as follows:
• If a force-based or constitutive motion-based damage initiation criterion is used, the intrinsic available components (1 through 6) that ultimately contribute to the connector potential for damage initiation will be affected.
• If a plastic motion–based damage initiation criterion is used, the intrinsic available components that ultimately contribute to the connector potential used in the coupled plasticity definition will be affected.
Alternatively, you can specify the available components of relative motion that will be affected by the damage evolution law directly. In this case the entire connector response (elasto/rigid-plastic, friction, damping, constraint forces and moments, etc.) in the affected components will be damaged.

Defining a motion-based linear damage evolution law
The linear form of the damage evolution law is illustrated here in the context of linear elasticity, although it can be used in any situation. Assume that the connector response is linear elastic and that after damage initiation a linear damage evolution is desired, as illustrated in Figure 31.2.7–1.

Figure 31.2.7–1 Linear damage evolution law for linear elastic connector behavior.
If damage were not specified, the response would be linear elastic (a straight line passing through the origin). Assume that damage has initiated at point I as triggered by a force-based or motion-based criterion, for example; the corresponding constitutive motion at this point is u _ { 0 } . If the connector is loaded further such that the constitutive motion increases to u _ { c } , the connector force response at point C becomes F _ { c } . The response is diminished by d * F _ { e f f } when compared to the effective response F _ { e f f } (the elastic response with no damage). Thus, F _ { c } = ( 1 - d ) F _ { e f f } . If unloading occurs at point C, the unloading curve of slope ( 1 - d ) E is followed. As long as the constitutive motion does not exceed u _ { c } , , the damage variable, d , stays constant at the value obtained when point C is first reached. If further loading occurs, further damage occurs until the ultimate failure motion, u _ { f } , is reached ( d = 1 ) and the connector component loses the ability to carry any load. Thus, one possible loading/unloading sequence is 0 { } \mathrm { I { } C { } O { } C { } \ } u _ { f } .
The linear damage evolution law defines a truly linear damaged force response only in the case of linear elastic or rigid behavior with optional perfect plasticity. If nonlinear elasticity or plasticity with hardening are defined for the damaged components, an approximate linear damaged response is observed.
Defining the linear evolution law for a force-based or constitutive motion-based damage initiation criterion
If an uncoupled damage initiation criterion is used in component i, you specify the difference between the constitutive relative motion at ultimate failure, \boldsymbol { u } _ { f _ { i } } , and the constitutive relative motion at damage initiation, u _ { 0 i } , in the specified component ( { u } _ { f _ { i } } - { u } _ { 0 _ { i } } ) .
If a coupled damage initiation criterion is used, an equivalent constitutive relative motion, , must be defined for damage evolution purposes. A connector potential definition is used to define \bar { u } = P ( \mathbf { u } ) . You specify the difference between the equivalent motion at ultimate failure, \bar { u } _ { f } , and the equivalent motion at damage initiation, ( \bar { u } _ { f } \mathrm { ~ - ~ } \bar { u } _ { 0 } ) .

Defining a motion-based exponential damage evolution law
The exponential damage evolution law is illustrated in the context of a linear elastic-plastic response with hardening, although it can be used in any situation. The force response in a particular connector component is shown in Figure 31.2.7–2.
Figure 31.2.7–2 Exponential damage evolution law for linear elastic-plastic connector behavior with hardening.
Assume that damage is initiated at point I as triggered by a plastic motion–based damage initiation criterion. If further loading occurs until point C, the response is F _ { C } = ( 1 - d ) F _ { e f f } . Unloading from point C occurs along the damaged elastic line of slope . Upon unloading/reloading, the damage variable remains constant until point C is reached again. Further loading (beyond point C) leads to an
increasingly damaged response until the ultimate failure point, \bar { u } _ { f } ^ { p l } , is reached (d = 1). The damage variable d is given by the following equation:
d = \frac {1 - e ^ {- \alpha \frac {\bar {u} ^ {p l} - \bar {u} _ {0} ^ {p l}}{\bar {u} _ {f} ^ {p l} - \bar {u} _ {0} ^ {p l}}}}{1 - e ^ {- \alpha}}.
The damaged response will appear to be truly exponential only if either linear elasticity or perfect plasticity is used. An approximate exponential degradation is obtained if plasticity with hardening is present.
You specify the difference between the relative motions at ultimate failure and at damage initiation and the exponential coefficient . The difference between the relative motions is interpreted in the same way as described in “Defining a motion-based linear damage evolution law,” as follows:
• If an uncoupled force-based or constitutive motion-based damage initiation criterion is used, the difference between the relative motions at ultimate failure and at damage initiation in the specified component i , u _ { f _ { i } } - u _ { 0 { i } } , is specified.
• If a coupled force-based or constitutive motion-based damage initiation criterion is used, an equivalent relative motion is defined using a connector potential ( \bar { u } ~ = ~ P ( \mathbf { u } ) ) . The difference between the relative motions at ultimate failure and at damage initiation, \bar { u } _ { f } - \bar { u } _ { 0 } , is specified.
• If a plastic motion–based damage initiation criterion is used, the difference between the equivalent relative plastic motions at ultimate failure and at damage initiation, \bar { u } _ { f } ^ { p l } - \bar { u } _ { 0 } ^ { p l } , is specified. The equivalent plastic relative motion is calculated from the associated plasticity definition. The data can also be functions of the mode-mix ratio \Psi _ { m } .
In the first two cases the equation for the damage variable is similar to that given above for plastic motion–based damage initiation except that (equivalent) constitutive relative motions are used instead of equivalent relative plastic motions.

Defining a motion-based tabular damage evolution law
You can also specify the damage variable directly as a tabular function of the differences between the relative motions at ultimate failure and the relative motions at damage initiation. The differences between the relative motions are interpreted in the same way as described in “Defining a motion-based linear damage evolution law,” as follows:
• If an uncoupled force-based or constitutive motion-based damage initiation criterion is used, the differences between the constitutive relative motions at ultimate failure and at damage initiation in the specified component i , u _ { i } - u _ { 0 i } , are used to define the tabular data.
• If a coupled force-based or constitutive motion-based damage initiation criterion is used, an equivalent relative motion is defined using a connector potential ( \bar { u } = P ( \mathbf { u } ) ) . The differences between the relative motions at ultimate failure and at damage initiation, , are used to define the tabular data.
• If a plastic motion–based damage initiation criterion is used, the differences between the equivalent relative plastic motions at ultimate failure and at damage initiation, \bar { u } ^ { p l } - \bar { u } _ { 0 } ^ { p l } , are used. The equivalent plastic relative motion is calculated from the associated plasticity definition. The tabular data can also be functions of the mode-mix ratio \Psi _ { m } .

Figure 31.2.7–3 Post-damage initiation dissipation energy evolution law for nonlinear elastic connector behavior.
Assume that damage is initiated at point I when the constitutive relative motion is u _ { 0 } as triggered by a force-based or a motion-based damage initiation criterion, for example. The response at point C will be F _ { C } = ( 1 - d ) F _ { e f f } . Unloading from point C occurs along the CO curve, which is the original
nonlinear elastic response curve (OE) scaled down by the ( ) factor. Damage remains constant on the unloading/reloading curve (C O C), and it increases only if loading increases beyond point C.
Instantaneous failure can be specified upon initiation if G _ { C } is specified as 0.0. In all other cases ultimate failure (d = 1) would occur (in theory) at infinite motion since an exponential-like response that asymptotically goes to zero is generated. Abaqus will set d = 1 when the damage dissipated energy reaches 0 . 9 9 G _ { C } .
You specify the post-damage initiation dissipated energy at ultimate failure, G _ { C } . If a plastic motion–based initiation criterion is used, G _ { C } can be specified as a function of the mode-mix ratio \Psi _ { m } .

Using multiple damage mechanisms
At most three uncoupled damage mechanisms (pairs of connector damage initiation criteria and connector damage evolution laws) can be defined for each available component of relative motion, one for each type of initiation criterion (force, motion, and plastic motion). In addition, three coupled damage mechanisms can be defined (one for each type of initiation criterion). Coupled and uncoupled damage definitions can be combined; only one overall damage variable per component will be used to damage the response in a particular available component of relative motion. Only the overall damage will be output.
Specifying the contribution of each damage mechanism
When several damage mechanisms are defined for the same connector behavior, you can specify the contribution of each damage mechanism to the overall damage effect for a particular component of relative motion. By default, the damage value associated with a particular mechanism will be compared to the damage values from any other damage mechanisms defined for the connector behavior, and only the maximum value will be considered for the overall damage. Alternatively, you can specify that the damage values for the mechanisms associated with the connector behavior should be combined in a multiplicative fashion to obtain the overall damage. See the last example below for an illustration.
Input File Usage: Use the following option to specify that only the maximum damage value associated with a particular connector behavior should contribute to the overall damage effect:
*CONNECTOR DAMAGE EVOLUTION, DEGRADATION=MAXIMUM
Use the following option to specify that all the damage values associated with a particular connector behavior should contribute in a multiplicative way to the overall damage effect:
*CONNECTOR DAMAGE EVOLUTION, DEGRADATION=MULTIPLICATIVE
Abaqus/CAE Usage: Interaction module: connector section editor: Add→Damage: Specify damage evolution, Evolution, Degradation: Maximum or Multiplicative
Examples
The examples that follow illustrate several methods for defining damage mechanisms.
Uncoupled damage
The following input could be used to define a simple uncoupled damage mechanism:
*CONNECTOR ELASTICITY, COMPONENT=1
*CONNECTOR DAMAGE INITIATION, COMPONENT=1, CRITERION=FORCE force_compress, force_tens
*CONNECTOR DAMAGE EVOLUTION, TYPE=ENERGY
0.0
Damage will initiate when the elastic force in component 1 is either smaller than force_compress or larger than force_tens. Only the elastic response in component 1 will be damaged. Since the dissipated energy specified for damage evolution is 0.0, the damage evolves catastrophically instantaneously after it has initiated.
Coupled rigid plasticity with plasticity-based damage
Referring to the spot weld in Figure 31.2.7–4 for which coupled plasticity is defined in “Connector plastic behavior,” Section 31.2.6, a plastic motion–based damage initiation and evolution with dependencies on the mode-mix ratio can be specified as follows:
