This command is used to construct a uniaxial Menegotto-Pinto steel material object.

uniaxialMaterial SteelMP $matTag $sigmaY $E $b

---

$matTag	unique material object integer tag
$sigmaY	yield stress or force
$E	initial tangent stiffness
$b	strain-hardening ratio (ratio between post-yield tangent and initial elastic tangent)

Note: For this material class, the sensitivity parameters can be: sigmaY, E, b
