Piezoelectric object

The Piezoelectric object specifies piezoelectric material properties.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

materialApi.materials()[name].piezoelectric()

Piezoelectric(...)

This method creates a Piezoelectric object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].Piezoelectric

Prototype

odb_Piezoelectric&
Piezoelectric(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
              const odb_String& type,
              bool temperatureDependency,
              int dependencies);

Required arguments

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

type

An odb_String specifying the type of material coefficients for the piezoelectric property. Possible values are "STRAIN" and "STRESS". The default value is "STRESS".

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=STRESS, the table data specify the following:

  • e1 11φ.

  • e1 22φ.

  • e1 33φ.

  • e1 12φ.

  • e1 13φ.

  • e1 23φ.

  • e2 11φ.

  • e2 22φ.

  • e2 33φ.

  • e2 12φ.

  • e2 13φ.

  • e2 23φ.

  • e3 11φ.

  • e3 22φ.

  • e3 33φ.

  • e3 12φ.

  • e3 13φ.

  • e3 23φ.

  • 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=STRAIN, the table data specify the following:

  • d1 11φ.

  • d1 22φ.

  • d1 33φ.

  • d1 12φ.

  • d1 13φ.

  • d1 23φ.

  • d2 11φ.

  • d2 22φ.

  • d2 33φ.

  • d2 12φ.

  • d2 13φ.

  • d2 23φ.

  • d3 11φ.

  • d3 22φ.

  • d3 33φ.

  • d3 13φ.

  • d3 23φ.

  • 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 Piezoelectric object.

Exceptions

None.

Members

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