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.
