Model.uniaxialMaterial("Plastic", tag, E, Fy, Hiso, Hkin, eta=None)

Define a plastic material with linear isotropic and kinematic hardening.

Parameters:
tag: integer

unique tag identifying material

E: float

elastic modulus, \(E\)

Fy: float

yield stress, \(F_y\)

Hiso: float

isotropic hardening modulus

Hkin: float

kinematic hardening modulus

eta: float

optional parameter

Theory#

This model implements a 1D specialization of the J2Plasticity material, without the nonlinear exponential hardening option.

Examples#

import xara
model = xara.Model(ndm=3)

Fy = 50
E  = 29e3
G  = 11.2e3
K  = 3
nu = 0.24

Hiso = 20e3
Hkin = 10e3
