Prototype

odb_UniaxialTestData&
UniaxialTestData(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
                 odb_Union smoothing,
                 bool lateralNominalStrain,
                 bool temperatureDependency,
                 int dependencies);

Required arguments

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

smoothing

The string "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 false.

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

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

  • Nominal stress, TU.

  • Nominal strain, ϵU.

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

  • Nominal stress, TL.

  • Nominal strain, ϵU.

  • Nominal lateral strain, ϵ2=ϵ3. The default value is 0.

For a low-density foam material model, the table data specify the following:

  • Nominal stress, TU.

  • Nominal strain, ϵU.

  • Nominal strain rate, ϵU˙.

Return value

A UniaxialTestData object.

Exceptions

None.

Members

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