PorousElastic object

The PorousElastic object specifies elastic material properties for porous materials.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

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

PorousElastic(...)

This method creates a PorousElastic object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].PorousElastic

Prototype

odb_PorousElastic&
PorousElastic(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
              const odb_String& shear,
              bool temperatureDependency,
              int dependencies);

Required arguments

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

shear

An odb_String specifying the shear definition form. Possible values are "G" and "POISSON". The default value is "POISSON".

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 shear=G, the table data specify the following:

  • The logarithmic bulk modulus, κ. (Dimensionless.)

  • The shear modulus, G.

  • The elastic tensile limit, ptel. (This value cannot be negative.)

  • 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 shear=POISSON, the table data specify the following:

  • The logarithmic bulk modulus, κ. (Dimensionless.)

  • The Poisson's ratio, ν.

  • The elastic tensile limit, ptel. (This value cannot be negative.)

  • 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 PorousElastic object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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