|
| $matTag |
integer tag identifying material
|
| $matTag |
unique material object integer tag
|
| $fy |
Yield stress in tension (see Figure 1)
|
| $fu |
Ultimate stress in tension
|
| $Es |
Initial elastic tangent
|
| $Esh |
Tangent at initial strain hardening
|
| $esh |
Strain corresponding to initial strain hardening
|
| $eult |
Strain at peak stress
|
| -GABuck |
Buckling Model Based on Gomes and Appleton (1997)
|
| $lsr |
Slenderness Ratio (see Figure 2)
|
| $beta |
Amplification factor for the buckled stress strain curve. (see Figure 3)
|
| $r |
Buckling reduction factor
- r can be a real number between [0.0 and 1.0]
- r=1.0 full reduction (no buckling)
- r=0.0 no reduction
- 0.0<r<1.0 linear interpolation between buckled and unbuckled curves
|
| $gamma |
Buckling constant (see Figures 3 and 4)
|
| -DMBuck |
Buckling model based on Dhakal and Maekawa (2002)
|
| $lsr |
Slenderness Ratio (see Figure 2)
|
| $alpha |
Adjustment Constant usually between 0.75 and 1.0
- Default: alpha=1.0, this parameter is optional.
|
| -CMFatigue |
Coffin-Manson Fatigue and Strength Reduction
|
| $Cf |
Coffin-Manson constant C (see Figure 5)
|
| $alpha |
Coffin-Manson constant a (see Figure 5)
|
| $Cd |
Cyclic strength reduction constant (see Figure 6 and Equation 3)
|
| -IsoHard |
Isotropic Hardening / Diminishing Yield Plateau
|
| $a1 |
Hardening constant (default = 4.3)
|
| $limit |
Limit for the reduction of the yield plateau. % of original plateau length to remain (0.01 < limit < 1.0 )
- Limit =1.0, then no reduction takes place (default =0.01)
|
| -MPCurveParams |

|
| $R1 |
(default = 0.333)
|
| $R2 |
(default = 18)
|
| $R3 |
(default = 4)
