In the anisotropic case, the model is still characterized by the same three material constants plus three evolving variables which are the principal values of a second-order damage tensor. This leads to a six-parameter restricted form of orthotropic damage. In the second step, damage evolution rules are formulated in terms of a pseudo-logarithmic rate of damage. This allows to define meaningful conjugate forces that constitute a feasible space in which loading functions and damage evolution rules can be defined. The present ‘extended’ formulation is closed by the derivation of the tangent stiffness.

Abstract

Following a framework of elastic degradation and damage previously proposed by the authors, an ‘extended’ formulation of orthotropic damage in initially-isotropic materials, based on volumetric/deviatoric decomposition, is presented. The formulation is founded on the concept of energy equivalence and makes use of second-order symmetric tensor damage variables. It is characterized by fourth-order damage-effect tensors (relating nominal to effective stresses and strains) built from the underlying second-order damage tensors and decomposed in product-form in isotropic and anisotropic parts. The formulation is developed in two steps. First, secant relations are established. In the isotropic case, the model embeds a path-parameter allowing to range between pure volumetric to pure deviatoric damage. With the two undamaged material constants this makes a total of three constant parameters plus an evolving scalar damage variable, giving rise to a four-parameter model with two varying isotropic material coefficients. In the anisotropic case, the model is still characterized by the same three material constants plus three evolving variables which are the principal values of a second-order damage tensor. This leads to a six-parameter restricted form of orthotropic damage. In the second step, damage evolution rules are formulated in terms of a pseudo-logarithmic rate of damage. This allows to define meaningful conjugate forces that constitute a feasible space in which loading functions and damage evolution rules can be defined. The present ‘extended’ formulation is closed by the derivation of the tangent stiffness.
