4.14.5.25. SimpleFracture material wrapper

Constructs a SimpleFracture uniaxial material wrapper that imposes tensile fracture on the wrapped material: after strain exceeds a maximum tensile strain, the wrapper supplies compressive stress based on an estimate of the elastic strain.

uniaxialMaterial('SimpleFracture', matTag, otherTag, maxStrain)

Example

import openseespy.opensees as ops

ops.uniaxialMaterial('Hardening', 1, 3.0, 1.0, 0.1)
ops.uniaxialMaterial('SimpleFracture', 2, 1, 0.8)
