Steel01 Material

This command is used to construct a uniaxial bilinear steel material object with kinematic hardening and optional isotropic hardening described by a non-linear evolution equation (REF: Fedeas).

uniaxialMaterial Steel01 $matTag $Fy $E0 $b <$a1 $a2 $a3 $a4>

$matTag

unique material object integer tag

$Fy

yield strength

$E0

initial elastic tangent

$b

strain-hardening ratio (ratio between post-yield tangent and initial elastic tangent)

$a1, $a2, $a3, $a4

isotropic hardening parameters: (optional, default: no isotropic hardening)

 

$a1

isotropic hardening parameter, increase of compression yield envelope as proportion of yield strength after a plastic strain of $a2*($Fy/E0).

 

$a2

isotropic hardening parameter (see explanation under $a1)

 

$a3

isotropic hardening parameter, increase of tension yield envelope as proportion of yield strength after a plastic strain of $a4*($Fy/E0)

 

$a4

isotropic hardening parameter (see explanation under $a3)
