Prototype

odb_ConcreteTensionDamage&
ConcreteTensionDamage(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
                      double compressionRecovery,
                      const odb_String& type,
                      bool temperatureDependency,
                      int dependencies);

Required arguments

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

compressionRecovery

A Double specifying the value of the stiffness recovery factor, wc, that determines the amount of compression stiffness that is recovered as loading changes from tension to compression. The default value is 1.0.

type

An odb_String specifying the type of tensile damage data. Set type="STRAIN" to specify the tensile damage variable as a function of cracking strain. Set type="DISPLACEMENT" to specify the tensile damage variable as a function of cracking displacement. Possible values are "STRAIN" and "DISPLACEMENT". The default value is "STRAIN".

temperatureDependency

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

dependencies

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

Table data

If type=STRAIN, the table data specify the following:

  • Tensile damage variable, dt.

  • Direct cracking strain, ϵtck.

  • 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.

If type=DISPLACEMENT, the table data specify the following:

  • Tensile damage variable, dt.

  • Direct cracking displacement, utck.

  • 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 ConcreteTensionDamage object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

The ConcreteTensionDamage object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the ConcreteTensionDamage method.
