59.6 BrittleFailure object

The BrittleFailure object specifies the brittle failure of the material.

Access

materialApi.materials()[name].brittleCracking().brittleFailure()

59.6.1 BrittleFailure(...)

This method creates a BrittleFailure object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].brittleCracking().BrittleFailure

Prototype

odb_BrittleFailure&
BrittleFailure(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
               bool temperatureDependency,
               int dependencies,
               const odb_String& failureCriteria);

Required argument

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

failureCriteria

An odb_String specifying the failure criteria. Possible values are "UNIDIRECTIONAL", "BIDIRECTIONAL", and "TRIDIRECTIONAL". The default value is "UNIDIRECTIONAL".

Table data

If parent BrittleCracking member type=STRAIN the table data specify the following:

Direct cracking failure 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.

If parent BrittleCracking member type=DISPLACEMENT or type=GFI the table data specify the following:

Direct cracking failure displacement.
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 BrittleFailure object.

Exceptions

RangeError.
