*PIEZORESISTIVITY

Specify piezoresistivity coefficients.

This option is used to define the piezoresistivity coefficients for a piezoresistive material. It can be used only in conjunction with ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY.

Optional parameters

DEPENDENCIES

Set this parameter equal to the number of field variables included in the definition of piezoresistivity. If this parameter is omitted, the piezoresistivity is assumed not to depend on any field variables but may still depend on temperature. See Material Data Definition for more information.

TYPE

Set TYPE=ISOTROPIC (default) to define isotropic behavior.

Set TYPE=CUBIC to define cubic behavior.

Set TYPE=ORTHOTROPIC to define orthotropic behavior.

Set TYPE=ANISOTROPIC to define fully anisotropic behavior.
