IsotropicDamage

Independent Isotropic Damage Model

The IsotropicDamage model interacts with an associated 3D material model and compute damage factor based on total strain or other related quantities.

Interface

The update_trial_status(const vec&) is implemented so that trial_stress and trial_stiffness store the corresponding response of the associated material model and calls the update_damage() method.

The update_damage() method shall be implemented in all derived class.

Alternatively, material state update method update_trial_status(const vec&) can be thoroughly overridden by the derived classed.
