59.7 BrittleShear object

The BrittleShear object specifies the postcracking shear behavior of a material used in a brittle cracking model.

Access

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

59.7.1 BrittleShear(...)

This method creates a BrittleShear object.

Path

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

Prototype

odb_BrittleShear&
BrittleShear(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
             bool temperatureDependency,
             int dependencies,
             const odb_String& type);

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.

type

An odb_String specifying the type of postcracking shear behavior. Possible values are "RETENTION_FACTOR" and "POWER_LAW". The default value is "RETENTION_FACTOR".

Table data

If type=RETENTION_FACTOR the table data specify the following:

Shear retention factor.
Crack opening 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 type=POWER_LAW the table data specify the following:

e.
p.
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 BrittleShear object.

Exceptions

RangeError.
