The Traction Law
This traction law applies a linearly increasing stress and it never fails.
Failure
This traction does not fail or release energy; as COD increases, the traction keeps increasing. If you want to model failure, use a trangular traction law instead. For example, to model a linear law that suddenly drops to zero stress at some critical COD, use a trangular traction law with the same elastic slope, enter the critical COD (δc), and set its delpkI and/or delpkII parameters to 1. The toughness of this law would be
[math]\displaystyle{ J_c = {1\over 2} k \delta_c^2 }[/math]
Traction Law Properties
The following properties are used to create a linear traction law:
| Property | Description | Units | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| kIe | The elastic slope, k, in mode I | pressure/length units | 0 |
| kIIe | The elastic slope, k, in mode II | pressure/length units | 0 |
Traction History Variables
This material tracks no history variables.
