Johnson-Cook Damage

The Johnson-Cook damage initiation criterion is a special case of the ductile damage criterion model for predicting the onset of damage due to nucleation, growth, and coalescence of voids in ductile metals.

The model assumes that the equivalent plastic strain at the onset of damage is a function of stress triaxiality and strain rate. The Johnson-Cook criterion can be used in conjunction with the von Mises, Johnson-Cook, and Hill plasticity models, including equation of state.

ε ¯ D p l = [ d 1 + d 2 exp ( d 3 η ) ] [ 1 + d 4 ln ( ε ¯ ˙ D p l ε ˙ 0 ) ] ( 1 + d 5 θ ^ ) ,

where θ ^ is the nondimensional temperature defined as
