“…The damage interaction was modelled by a weighted additive impact of different accumulated plastic strains which contradicts other models in the literature where the interaction was modelled by an additive impact of damage variables (Mazars et al, 1990;Chaboche, 1992;Halm and Dragon, 1996;Welemane and Cormery, 2003;Challamel et al, 2005;Cormery and Welemane, 2010;Goidescu et al, 2013;Saï and Cailletaud, 2007;Saï et al, 2011;Saï, 2011). This strong coupling of plasticity and damage may be in contrast to earlier CDM models (Horii and Nemat-Nasser, 1983;Bažant andOh, 1983, 1985;Lemaitre, 1984;Bažant and Prat, 1988a,b;Chaboche, 1992;Lemaitre and Chaboche, 2000;Lemaitre and Desmorat, 2005;Chaboche, 2008).…”
