.PorousFailureCriteria

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

fraction

A Float specifying the void volume fraction at total failure, fF>0. The default value is 1.0.

criticalFraction

A Float specifying the critical void volume fraction, fc≥0. The default value is 1.0.

Return value

A PorousFailureCriteria object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the PorousFailureCriteria object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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