PlanarTestData object

The PlanarTestData object specifies planar test (or pure shear) data (compression and/or tension).

The following topics are discussed:

PlanarTestData(...)

This method creates a PlanarTestData object.

Required arguments

table

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

Optional arguments

smoothing

None or an Int specifying the value for smoothing. If smoothing=None, no smoothing is employed. The default value is None.

lateralNominalStrain

A Boolean specifying whether to include lateral nominal strain. The default value is OFF.

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

For a hyperelastic material model, the table data specify the following:

  • Nominal stress, TS.

  • Nominal strain in the direction of loading, ϵS.

For a hyperfoam material model, the table data specify the following:

  • Nominal stress, TL.

  • Nominal strain in the direction of loading, ϵp.

  • Nominal transverse strain, ϵ3. The default value is 0.

Return value

A PlanarTestData object.

Exceptions

None.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the PlanarTestData object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the PlanarTestData method.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

Members

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