Required arguments

table

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

Optional arguments

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

  • The hydrostatic pressure stress at yield, pc.

  • The absolute value of the corresponding volumetric plastic strain.

  • 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 ClayHardening object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the ClayHardening object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the ClayHardening method.

Return value

None.

Exceptions
