Hardening

This command is used to construct a uniaxial material object with combined linear kinematic and isotropic hardening. The model includes optional visco-plasticity using a Perzyna formulation.

Model.uniaxial(“HardeningMaterial”, name, E, fy, H_iso, H_kin)

E float Young’s modulus of elasticity
fy float Yield stress.
H_iso float isotropic hardening Modulus
H_kin float kinematic hardening Modulus
eta float visco-plastic coefficient (optional, default=0.0)
