DoddRestrepo

This command is used to construct a Dodd-Restrepo steel material

Model.uniaxial(“Dodd_Restrepo”, name, fy, fu, esh, esu, E, eshi, fshi)

fy float Yield stress.
fu float Ultimate tensile strength (UTS)
esh float Tensile strain at initiation of strain hardening
esu float Tensile strain at the UTS
E float Young’s modulus of elasticity
eshi float Tensile strain for a point on strain hardening curve, recommended range of values for eshI: \(\left[ \frac{\texttt{esu} 5 \texttt{esh}}{6}, \frac{\texttt{esu} 3 \texttt{esh}}{4}\right]\)
fshi float Tensile stress at point on strain hardening curve corresponding to eshI
OmegaFac = 1.0 float Roundedness factor for Bauschinger curve in cycle reversals from the strain hardening curve. Range: \(\left[0.75, 1.15\right]\). Largest value tends to near a bilinear Bauschinger curve. Default = 1.0.

Note: Stresses and strains are defined in engineering terms, as they are reported in a tensile test.
