Required arguments

table

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

  • The hydrostatic pressure stress at yield, pc.

  • The absolute value of the corresponding volumetric plastic strain.

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

Return value

A ClayHardening object.
