NonlocalDamage

Nonlocal damage model. Given an RadialAverage UO this creates a new damage index that can be used as for ComputeDamageStress without havign to change existing local damage models.

Description

NonlocalDamage is a model to define the effect of damage on the stress and stiffness in a continuum damage mechanics setting. It does not directly compute the stress, but must be used in conjunction with ComputeDamageStress.

The damage variable itself is computed as a nonlocal extension of an external scalar damage model defined by the local_damage_model and average_UO input parameters. The average_UO is a RadialAverage user object that defines the nonlocal averaging properties. The damage value is delayed by a single execte_on (timestep or nonlinear).
