Damage
The Damage subnode allows you to model damage and cracking in brittle materials according to various criteria. It is available in the Solid Mechanics, Shell, and Layered Shell interfaces, and it can be used in combination with the Linear Elastic Material, Layered.
Shell Properties
Select the layer or layers for which the damage is to be computed.
When Use all layers is not selected.
If the damage input type differs between layers, you will need to add several Damage nodes with different layer selections.
If the same layer is selected in two Damage nodes being active on the same boundary, the contributions will be overridden.
All other settings for the Damage node are described in the documentation for Damage in the Solid Mechanics interface.
Modeling Damage in the Structural Mechanics Modeling chapter.
Damage Models in the Structural Mechanics Theory chapter.
