Isotropic, Elastic-Plastic Material
Constitutive Law
This MPM material is identical to an Isotropic material in the elastic regime, but can plastically deform according to any selected hardening law.
Material Properties
The hardening law is selected with a plasticLaw property. The remaining properties are identical to an isotropic material:
| Property | Description | Units | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| plasticLaw | This command selects the hardening law. It should be before entering any yielding properties. | none | none |
| (yield) | Enter all plasticity properties required by the selected hardening law. | varies | varies |
| (other) | All other properties are identical the properties for an isotropic material. | varies | varies |
