ConcreteTensionDamage(...)

This method creates a ConcreteTensionDamage object.

.ConcreteTensionDamage

Required arguments

table

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

Optional arguments

compressionRecovery

A Float specifying the value of the stiffness recovery factor, wc, that determines the amount of compression stiffness that is recovered as loading changes from tension to compression. The default value is 1.0.

type

A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of tensile damage data. Set type=STRAIN to specify the tensile damage variable as a function of cracking strain. Set type=DISPLACEMENT to specify the tensile damage variable as a function of cracking displacement. Possible values are STRAIN and DISPLACEMENT. The default value is STRAIN.

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

If type=STRAIN, the table data specify the following:

  • Tensile damage variable, dt.

  • Direct cracking strain, ϵtck.

  • 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.

If type=DISPLACEMENT, the table data specify the following:

  • Tensile damage variable, dt.

  • Direct cracking displacement, utck.

  • 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 ConcreteTensionDamage object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the ConcreteTensionDamage object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

The ConcreteTensionDamage object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the ConcreteTensionDamage method.
