This command is used to construct a CastFuse uniaxial material. The CastFuse material simulates the hysteretic response a cast yielding fuse (CSF) for concentrically braced frames.

uniaxialMaterial Cast $matTag $n $bo $h $fy $E $L $b $Ro $cR1 $cR2 <$a1 $a2 $a3 $a4>

$matTag integer tag identifying material
$n Number of yield fingers of the CSF-brace
$bo Width of an individual yielding finger at its base of the CSF-brace
$h Thickness of an individual yielding finger
$fy Yield strength of the steel material of the yielding finger
$E Modulus of elasticity of the steel material of the yielding finger
$L Height of an individual yielding finger
$b Strain hardening ratio
$Ro Parameter that controls the radius after first yielding. Recommended Values $Ro=between 10 to 30
$cR1 Recommended Value $cR1=0.925
$cR2 Recommended Value $cR2=0.150
$a1 isotropic hardening parameter, increase of compression yield envelope as proportion of yield strength after a plastic strain of $a2*($Pp/Kp).
$a2 isotropic hardening parameter (see explanation under $a1). (optional default = 1.0).
$a3 isotropic hardening parameter, increase of tension yield envelope as proportion of yield strength after a plastic strain of $a4*($Pp/Kp).
$a4 isotropic hardening parameter (see explanation under $a3). (optional default = 1.0)

Examples:

1. Input parameters:
Assume a CSF-Brace with n=10 yielding fingers, bo=250mm, h = 34mm fy=0.365kN/mm2, E=200kN/mm2, L=250mm. In order to calibrate the simulated response of the CSF-brace discussed in [1] and was tested at the University of Toronto the following set of parameters are utilized:
uniaxialMaterial Cast 1 10 250.0 34.0 0.365 200.0 250.0 0.000 19.0 0.925 0.15 0.032 1.0 0.032 1.0
Using these properties a comparison between simulated and experimental response of a CSF brace tested at University of Toronto is shown in Figure 1.
The sensitivity of the viscous damper with respect to its axial stiffness is shown in Figure 2 for the following set of parameters: K=500.0kN/mm, C=100.0kN(s/mm)0.3, a=0.30.
Figure 1. Viscous Damper with K=150.0kN/mm, C=100.0kN(s/mm)0.3, a=0.30
Figure 2. Viscous Damper with K=500.0kN/mm, C=100.0kN(s/mm)0.3, a=0.30
