ElasticBilin

This command is used to construct an elastic bilinear uniaxial material object. Unlike all other bilinear materials, the unloading curve follows the loading curve exactly.

Model.uniaxial(“ElasticBilin”, name, E, E2, eps2)

E float tangent in tension for stains: 0 <= strains \(\le\) epsP2
E2 float tangent when material in tension with strains > epsP2
eps2 float strain at which material changes tangent in tension.
EN1 float optional, default = EP1. tangent in compression for stains: 0 < strains \(\le\) epsN2
EN2 float optional, default = EP2. tangent in compression with strains < epsN2
epsN2 float optional, default = -epsP2. strain at which material changes tangent in compression.

NOTE:

eps0 can not be controlled. It is always zero.
