The tearing parameter criterion and material softening failure method currently used in the multilinear elastic-plastic constitutive model was added as an option to modular failure capabilities. The modular failure implementation was integrated with the multilevel solver for multi-element simulations. Currently, this implementation is only available to the J2 plasticity model due to the formulation of the material softening approach. The implementation compared well with multilinear elastic-plastic model results for a uniaxial tension test, a simple shear test, and a representative structural problem. Necessary generalizations of the failure method to extend it as a modular option for all plasticity models are highlighted.
