Optional parameters

DEPENDENCIES

Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of the moduli. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the moduli are constant or depend only on temperature. See Material Data Definition for more information.

TYPE

Set TYPE=ISOTROPIC (default) to define the isotropic transverse shear modulus.

Set TYPE=ORTHOTROPIC to define fully anisotropic transverse shear moduli.

Set TYPE=ANISOTROPIC to define anisotropic transverse shear moduli.

Data lines to define the isotropic transverse shear modulus (TYPE=ISOTROPIC)

First line

Shear modulus, $G$ . (Units of FL⁻².)
Temperature.
First field variable.
Second field variable.
Etc., up to six field variables.

Second line (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than six)

Seventh field variable.
Etc., up to eight field variables per line.

Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the transverse shear modulus as a function of temperature and other predefined field variables.

Data lines to define orthotropic transverse shear moduli (TYPE=ORTHOTROPIC)

First line

$G_{12}$ . (Units of FL⁻².)
$G_{13}$ .
$G_{23}$ .
Temperature.
First field variable.
Second field variable.
Etc., up to four field variables.

Second line (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than four)

Fifth field variable.
Etc., up to eight field variables per line.

Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the transverse shear moduli as a function of temperature and other predefined field variables.

Data lines to define anisotropic transverse shear moduli (TYPE=ANISOTROPIC)

First line

$D_{1212}$ . (Units of FL⁻².)
$D_{1313}$ .

Temperature.
First field variable.
Second field variable

Second line (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than two)

Third field variable.
Etc., up to eight field variables per line.

Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the transverse shear moduli as a function of temperature and other predefined field variables.
