Micro Abstract:
An orthotropic continuum damage model is presented in this paper, which enables accounting for the interaction of damage evolution in different directions. Thereby, uniaxial loading states can lead to different damage progression in directions other than the loading direction. The model is thermodynamically consistent and mesh objective due to use of an energy based regularization scheme.
It is shown that the model can be successfully applied on different scales.
