COMPUTES THE TRIAX AT THE TIME OF FAILURE

Computes the triaxiality value at the moment of element failure, given stress-tensor histories, eroded internal energy, and plastic strain curves. Supports multiple evaluation modes (erosion onset, peak triaxiality, or average between peak and erosion start) and can accept either raw stress tensors or pre-computed triaxiality curves as input.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
STRESS TENSORS stress_tensors vector   Time-history stress tensor curves (σ_xx, σ_yy, σ_zz, σ_xy, σ_xz, σ_yz) for one or more elements, used to compute triaxiality internally; required when triax_input is set to stress_tensors.
Part Eroded Internal Energy part_eroded_internal_energy vector   Part-level eroded internal energy curve (energy vs. time) used to detect the onset of element erosion/deletion; the time at which this curve first rises marks the failure instant.
Plastic Strains plastic_strains vector   Equivalent plastic strain (PEEQ) time-history curves for the elements of interest; used alongside erosion energy to identify the failure point in strain space.
Triax Input triax_input string stress_tensors   Selects the source used to derive triaxiality: stress_tensors (default) computes triaxiality from the provided stress tensor curves, while triaxiality expects pre-computed triaxiality curves to be supplied directly.
Triaxility Type triax_type string time_when_erosion_starts   Defines which triaxiality value to extract: time_when_erosion_starts (default) reads triaxiality at the erosion onset time, peak_triax returns the maximum triaxiality over the history, and avg_between_peak_triax_and_start_of_erosion averages triaxiality between the peak and the erosion start.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
curves_get_triaxiality_at_failure_output_1 curves_get_triaxiality_at_failure_output_1 scalar Scalar triaxiality value at the identified failure point (dimensionless, ratio of hydrostatic to von Mises stress), computed according to the selected triax_type method.
