Definitions

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`DMGEVOID`	Damage evolution identification number. No default (Integer > 0)
`TYPE`	Damage evolution type. COHDISP Damage index evaluated by displacement for cohesive elements. COHENRG Damage index evaluated by energy dissipated for cohesive elements. DISP Damage index evaluated by displacement for solid and shell elements (ductile damage). ENERGY Damage index evaluated by energy for solid and shell elements (ductile damage). No default
`SHAPE`	Profile shape of the traction-opening curve in the descending part. LIN (Default) Linear shape. EXP Exponential shape.
`MMXFM`	Mode mixed form (only for `TYPE` = COHENRG). Blank (Default) Modes are not mixed. 1 Power law form. 2 Benzeggah-Kenane form.
`ALPHA`	When `TYPE` = COHDISP with `SHAPE` = EXP, it is the exponent for the traction-separation curve. When `TYPE` = COHENRG with `MMXFM` = 1, it is the exponent for the mixing formula. When `TYPE` = COHENRG with `MMXFM` = 2, it is the mixing coefficient. When `TYPE` = DISP or ENERGY with `SHAPE` = EXP, it is the exponent for the stress degrading curve. No default (Real > 0)
`W1`. `W2`, `W3`	Material curve parameters. When `TYPE`=COHDISP/DISP, only `W1` is required. `W1` The separation evaluated from damage initiation to failure. `W2` and `W3` Must be blank. When `TYPE`=COHENRG, the parameters are the energies that can be dissipated in pure normal and pure shear separation. `W1` Energy dissipated in Mode I. `W2` Energy dissipated in Mode II. `W3` Energy dissipated in Mode III. When `TYPE`=COHENRG with `MMXFM`= Blank. `W1` Energy dissipated. `W2` and `W3` Must be blank. When `TYPE`=DISP `W1` Equivalent plastic displacement from damage initiation to failure. `W2` and `W3` Must be blank. When `TYPE`=ENERGY `W1` Energy dissipated from damage initiation to failure. `W2` and `W3` Must be blank. No default (Real > 0)	$[m]$ for `TYPE`=COHDISP/DISP $[\frac{N}{m}]$ or $[\frac{J}{m^{2}}]$ for `TYPE`=COHENRG/ENERGY

Comments

The material identification number should be unique for all MAT1, MAT2, MAT3, MAT8, MAT9, MGASK, MCOHE, MCOHED, DMGINI, and DMGEVO entries.
