Comments

  1. This law is compatible with 8-node brick elements, under integrated elements and Isolid =1 or Isolid =2 only.
  2. When switching from a volumetric strain formulation to a strain formulation, Iflag = -1 allows the same function definition to be retained.
  3. If one of the failure or shear failure strains is reached, the element is deleted.
  4. Transition strains define transition from initial to residual yield stress function.
  5. If one of the transition or shear transition strains is reached, element has yield stress described by residual functions, in each direction. Transition is applied to the neighbor elements.
