29.44.1 DruckerPragerHardening(...)

This method creates a DruckerPragerHardening object.

session.odbs[name].materials[name].druckerPrager\
.DruckerPragerHardening

Required argument

table

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

type

A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of data defining the hardening behavior. Possible values are COMPRESSION, TENSION, and SHEAR. The default value is COMPRESSION.

rate

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on rate. The default value is OFF.

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

  • Yield stress.

  • Absolute value of the corresponding plastic strain. (The first tabular value entered must always be zero.)

  • Equivalent plastic strain rate, , for which this hardening curve applies.

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

Return value

A DruckerPragerHardening object.

Exceptions

RangeError.
