Units conversion of energy release rate

Submitted by Xi Liu on

Whant to double check one question: When i build fracture model in ANSYS/ABAQS, i used mm for dimensions, MPa for Young's modulus. Therefore, when i input critical energy release rate as the failure criterion, I need to change to Mpa.mm ? (the units from lierature usually is Pa.m OR J/m2)

therefore, i need to Mpa.mm=(10e-3) * Pa.m???
