“…The model, which results in a non linear damage accumulation with active plastic strain, requires the knowledge of four damage parameters, all having a physical meaning: the damage threshold strain, " th , at which damage processes initiates; the theoretical failure strain under constant uniaxial state of stress conditions, " f , at which ductile failure would occur; the critical damage, D cr , at which failure occurs; and the damage exponent, ↵, that controls the shape of damage evolution with plastic strain. The parameters can be easily identified with uniaxial tensile tests on smooth and round notched specimen geometries [13,14]. The values for the annealed OFHC 99.98% Cu are given in Table 1.…”
