Dear friends:
I'm modelling a masonry wall. For academic reasons, I must use the Mohr Coulomb failure criterion. But bricks and mortar plastic failure can only be well described by the classic Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion if a couple of modifications are introduced: a linear compression cap and a tension cut-off.
Its easy to describe the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion in ABAQUS-CAE, but I don't know how to introduce the modifications I need (the compression cap and the tension cut off).
I've attached a couple of graphics that show what I'm talking about.
Please, friends, be as precise and concrete as you can in your suggestions: Im a novice user of ABAQUS CAE!
