This command is used to construct a series material object made up of an arbitrary number of previously-constructed UniaxialMaterial objects.

uniaxialMaterial Series $matTag $tag1 $tag2 ...

$matTag integer tag identifying material
$tag1 $tag2 ... identification tags of materials making up the material model

The series material is represented graphically:

In a series model, stresses are equal and strains and flexibilities are additive:

NOTE:

- The series material ignores strain rate effects of its component materials
