The localization of the strain is the precursor to the initiation of damage and the propagation of cracks in ductile materials. In the numerical analysis of ductile fracture, the size of the localized damaged region is directly influenced by the spatial resolution of the discretization of the finite element (FE) when a local coupled damage model is used. As a result, an inherent sensitivity to the mesh resolution is observed due to the governing equations losing ellipticity in the softening regime. To overcome this issue, nonlocal frameworks have been developed and extensively studied in the literature [1]. Numerous attempts have been made to achieve nonlocality within existing coupled ductile damage and fracture frameworks [2]. In this study, two widely popular approaches present in the literature are implemented via user subroutines in Abaqus and compared to achieve mesh objectivity. The nonlocal counterpart of a local variable is computed using two different strategies. The first one is performed through an averaging scheme after each solution increment to non-localize equivalent plastic strain or the damage variable. The second approach involves solving a Helmholtz-type equation using built-in coupled temperature-displacement elements employing the analogy to the steady-state heat transfer equation. Then these two approaches are compared in terms of performance in achieving mesh-independent solutions.
