I have a problem on shear failure for the material Ti-6Al-4v with ABAQUS

Submitted by Yancheng ZHANG on

hello, every one

recently,I need to develop model on the material of Ti-6Al-4v with Abaqus, I will use both Johnson-cook damage and shear damage for damage evolution,however, i am confused on the parameters for shear failure:

1)the parameter "ks", i can't find this value on internet;

2)the fracture energy for damage evolution in shear failure, the value should be the same with Johnson-cook,help example gives the same value, but i think it should be KII value for shear fracture,not KI.

  I don't know if I have expressed clearly,  could you help me ?
