Optional parameters
- DEPENDENCIES
-
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies
included in the definition of the cyclic hardening behavior, in addition to
temperature. If this parameter is omitted, this behavior does not depend on
field variables.
See Material Data Definition for more information.
- PARAMETERS
-
Include this parameter to provide the material parameters
and
b directly.
- USER
-
Include this parameter to define the size of the elastic range in user
subroutine
UHARD in
Abaqus/Standard
analyses and user subroutine
VUHARD in
Abaqus/Explicit
analyses. This parameter cannot be included if the kinematic hardening
component is specified via half-cycle test data using DATA TYPE=HALF CYCLE on the associated
PLASTIC option.
Optional parameter for use with the USER parameter
- PROPERTIES
-
Set this parameter equal to the number of property values needed as data in
user subroutine
UHARD in
Abaqus/Standard
analyses and user subroutine
VUHARD in
Abaqus/Explicit
analyses. The default is PROPERTIES=0.
Optional parameters if neither PARAMETERS
nor USER is included
-
EXTRAPOLATION
-
This parameter specifies the extrapolation method for the yield stress with respect
to the equivalent plastic strain.
If you use the CYCLIC HARDENING option
multiple times to specify test data at different equivalent plastic strain rates, you
can use the EXTRAPOLATION parameter
only one time, when you specify data at a zero equivalent plastic strain rate (CYCLIC HARDENING,
RATE=0.0). On the subsequent
options, you must either omit the
EXTRAPOLATION parameter or specify
the same method as that used at a zero equivalent plastic strain rate.
Set
EXTRAPOLATION=CONSTANT
(default) to use a constant value of the yield stress outside the specified range of
the equivalent plastic strains.
Set
EXTRAPOLATION=LINEAR
to use linear extrapolation (based on the slope) of the yield stress outside the
specified range of the equivalent plastic strains.
- RATE
-
Set this parameter equal to the equivalent plastic strain rate,
,
for which this stress-strain curve applies.
Data lines
to give tabular material data
- First line
-
Equivalent stress defining the size of the elastic range.
-
Equivalent plastic strain.
-
Temperature.
-
First field variable.
-
Etc., up to five field variables.

Repeat this set of data
lines as often as necessary to define the values of the isotropic component as
a function of plastic strain, temperature, and other predefined
variables.
