Abstract
The present paper focuses on the discussion of a set of rational crite ria for the selection of the damage parameter. The paper considers sca lar, second-, fourth-, and six-order tenser representations of damage and evaluates the accuracy with which they approximate exact, micromec hanical solutions. Considerations of geometrical, stiffness and failur e criteria favor the selection of effective stiffness as being the mos t appropriate choice for the damage parameter.
