Even though the maximum shear value for each ij plane is never used to initiate failure, they are still needed for damage evolution. For example, if the material initiates failure by tension in the x direction, the shear damage evolution will be determined by softening laws based on shear strengths with the same normal (''i.e.'', tauXY-Yc and tauXZ-Zc) even if they are larger that the other shear strengths for those planes. |

Introduction
This damage initiation law predicts failure in orthotropic materials. Because it deals with a specific material type, this law is only appropriate for OrthoSoftening materials.
Failure Surface
This failure surface has nine failure properties. First, are three tensile strengths [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_{ii}^{(c)} }[/math] where i is x, y, or z that give tensile strength in the three material direciton
Second, are six shear strengths [math]\displaystyle{ \tau_{ij,i}^{(c)} }[/math] that give the shear in the three material symmetry planes (with ij = xy, xa, or yz). The second index gives the direction of the shear crack in that plane and the crack has normal in the j direction. Each shear plane has two shear strengths. Failure initiates by shear when:
[math]\displaystyle{ \tau_{ij} \gt \min\bigl(\tau_{ij,i}^{(c)},\tau_{ij,j}^{(c)}\bigr) }[/math]
The crack that forms is in the i direction with normal in the [math]\displaystyle{ \vec{\hat j} }[/math] direction if [math]\displaystyle{ \tau_{ij,i}^{(c)} \lt \tau_{ij,j}^{(c)} }[/math], otherwise the crack normal is in the [math]\displaystyle{ \vec{\hat i} }[/math] direction.
Damage Law Properties
The following table lists the input properties for this initiation law

Even though the maximum shear value for each ij plane is never used to initiate failure, they are still needed for damage evolution. For example, if the material initiates failure by tension in the x direction, the shear damage evolution will be determined by softening laws based on shear strengths with the same normal (i.e., tauXY-Yc and tauXZ-Zc) even if they are larger that the other shear strengths for those planes.
