Hi all,
I am a new abaqus user, and I would like to model damage in my model. I am using B31 beam elements, with a plastic material properties for steel. My analysis is a dynamic cyclic load applied at the end of a steel member and analysed in a dynamic implicit step. I would like to model damage accumulation in my model based on a low cycle fatigue model ( Coffin Manson). Please, how can I do it? I would appreciate any form of assistance , even references to materials or documents. Thanks
