Variable Steel02 Material Response

The command line for Steel02 is as follows and is properly described in the previous sections and in the user command manual.

uniaxialMaterial Steel02 $matTag $Fy $E $b $R0 $cR1 $cR2 $a1 $a2 $a3 $a4

The different control arguments were investigated as follows:

S20

baseline

S2a

set a2x 1000;

set a1x [expr $a2x*($Fy/$Es)];

set a4 0.1;

set a3 [expr $a4*($Fy/$Es)];

# isotropic hardening parameter, associated with a1

# isotropic hardening parameter, increase of compression yield envelope....

# default value

# default value

 

uniaxialMaterial Steel02 $IDSteel2d $Fy $Es $Bs $R0 $cR1 $cR2 $a1x $a2x $a3 $a4

S2b

set a2 0.1;

set a1 [expr $a2*($Fy/$Es)];

set a4x 1000;

set a3x [expr $a4x*($Fy/$Es)];

# default value

# default value

# isotropic hardening parameter, associated with a3

# isotropic hardening parameter, increase of tension yield envelope...

 

uniaxialMaterial Steel02 $IDSteel2e $Fy $Es $Bs $R0 $cR1 $cR2 $a1 $a2 $a3x $a4x

The backbone curve of each of these materials is shown in the following figures, tension in Figure 1, compression in Figure 2.
