4.13.3.2. Elastic-Perfectly Plastic MaterialΒΆ

uniaxialMaterial('ElasticPP', matTag, E, epsyP, epsyN=epsyP, eps0=0.0)

This command is used to construct an elastic perfectly-plastic uniaxial material object.

matTag (int) integer tag identifying material
E (float) tangent
epsyP (float) strain or deformation at which material reaches plastic state in tension
epsyN (float) strain or deformation at which material reaches plastic state in compression. (optional, default is tension value)
eps0 (float) initial strain (optional, default: zero)
