Hardening Material

This command is used to construct a uniaxial material object with combined linear kinematic and isotropic hardening. The model includes optional visco-plasticity using a Perzyna formulation.

$matTag	integer tag identifying material
$E	tangent stiffness
$sigmaY	yield stress or force
$H_iso	isotropic hardening Modulus
$H_kin	kinematic hardening Modulus
'$eta	visco-plastic coefficient (optional, default=0.0)
