This plasticity material model is often used in large strain analyses. A bilinear stress-strain curve requires that you input the Yield Strength and Tangent Modulus. The slope of the first segment in the curve is equivalent to the Young's modulus of the material while the slope of the second segment is the tangent modulus.
Custom results variables available for this model:
| Name | Description | Solids | Shells | Beams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EFF_PL_STN | Effective Plastic Strain | Yes | Yes* | Yes* |
| SUBL_EPS | Effective sublayer plastic strain | No | Yes | No |
*Resultant value over shell/beam section.
