4.14.5.25. Viscous MaterialΒΆ
- uniaxialMaterial('Viscous', matTag, C, alpha)
This command is used to construct a uniaxial viscous material object. stress =C(strain-rate)^alpha
matTag
(int)integer tag identifying material
C
(float)damping coeficient
alpha
(float)power factor (=1 means linear damping)
Note
This material can only be assigned to truss and zeroLength elements.
This material can not be combined in parallel/series with other materials. When defined in parallel with other materials it is ignored.
