This report is a document on various failure models today utilized for identifying failure in thin sheets of high power steels. Concentration has been given on phenomenlogical designs and only some basic simulations have been executed. The phenomenlogical models which are described listed here are of four different types, particularly stress based, strain based, mixed stress and strain based and damaged models. Nevertheless, the simulations have only been preformed for a few of the models.
