4.14.5.3. Damper material wrapper

Constructs a Damper uniaxial material wrapper. The wrapper uses the stress–strain response of any uniaxial material as a stress versus strain-rate relationship for damping: strain rate is passed as strain, and the material tangent provides the damping tangent.

uniaxialMaterial('Damper', matTag, otherTag, *args)

*args may include '-factors', fact1, fact2, … for multiple materials.

Example

import openseespy.opensees as ops

ops.uniaxialMaterial('Elastic', 1, 100.0)
ops.uniaxialMaterial('Damper', 2, 1)
