How do I obtain these ductile damage parameters(initiation and evolution) to apply in abaqus in order to have damage criteria. I have experimental data form a steel device that is subjected to a hysteresis loop. So I can get the dissipative energy from the area of the force displacement graph. But i can't find a solution to apply these parameters in order to simulate the damage criteria. Do you think ductile damage is a good application for this example or should I do other damage criteria and how do I get the parameters for that damage criteria? Thank you.
