I am trying to retrieve the K1 coefficient with an Abaqus XFEM model for a steel plate (E = 200,000 MPa and Poisson ratio = 0.3). The Tenacity of the steel is 45MPa√m. I have no information regarding the MaxPS, nor do I find any information regarding this parameter on the web. Is the Damage MaxPS a property of the material? Is it retrieved with tensile tests or is it calculated from the yielding stress?
