material model for glass machining

Submitted by farzad pashmforoush on

Hello every body

I am working on the simulation of micromachining of โ€œglassโ€ in abaqus.
Although the glass is brittle, it shows some plasticity in micromachining
because of the high hydrostatic pressure field present in the machining region.
Now I am looking for an appropriate material model for glass with
elasto-plastic behavior which allows element deletion. I am not sure if "johnson-Holmquist damage model" is suitable for machining simualtion or not? I would be very thankful
if anyone would please help me.

With best regards

Farzad
