Abaqus Progressive Damage and Failure
Definition
Abaqus progressive damage and failure models degrade material stiffness after a damage initiation criterion is met and can remove failed elements from the calculation.
How It Works
The guide organizes failure modeling into four parts: the undamaged material response, damage initiation, damage evolution, and optional element deletion. For ductile metals, Abaqus supports multiple initiation criteria, including ductile, shear, forming-limit, forming-limit-stress, MSFLD, and Marciniak-Kuczynski criteria. Damage evolution then progressively degrades stiffness.
For fiber-reinforced composites, the undamaged response is treated as linearly elastic, damage initiation is based on Hashin-type criteria, and damage evolution is based on energy dissipated during the damage process. For low-cycle fatigue in Abaqus/Standard, damage initiation and evolution are driven by accumulated inelastic hysteresis energy per stabilized cycle in the direct cyclic workflow.
The source highlights mesh dependency in softening materials. Abaqus alleviates this by using a characteristic length tied to element size and expressing damage evolution in a stress-displacement or energy-per-area form rather than a purely local stress-strain softening curve.
Why It Matters
Failure simulation changes the finite element problem from smooth nonlinear constitutive response to localization, stiffness degradation, and topology change. Without attention to characteristic length, energy dissipation, and element deletion side effects, results can become mesh-dependent or numerically unstable.
