Steel03 Material -- Giuffré-Menegotto-Pinto Model with Isotropic Strain Hardening (Source Code Available)

This material has been written to have the same behavior as Steel02. The source code is available for this material.

uniaxialMaterial Steel03 $matTag $Fy $E $b $R0 $cR1 $cR2 $a1 $a2 $a3 $a4

$matTag

unique material object integer tag

$Fy

yield strength

$E

initial elastic tangent

$b

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

$R0, $cR1, $cR2

control the transition from elastic to plastic branches.

Recommended values:

$R0=between 10 and 20, $cR1=0.925, $cR2=0.15

$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/$E).

 

$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/$E)

 

$a4

isotropic hardening parameter (see explanation under $a3)
