Abstract
Much effort has been put in the development of proper continuum damage mechanics models, in which damage is either represented as a scalar, vectorial or tensorial quantity. In this work the anisotropic damage theory of Lemaitre et al. (2000), which describes damage as a second order tensor, is utilized. Two numerical time integration algorithms, namely a fully implicit and a partially explicit scheme, are compared by means of finite element computations of a plate with a circular hole. The convergence behavior of the two algorithms is studied and compared regarding the number of time steps.
