*MOHR COULOMB HARDENING

Specify hardening for the Mohr-Coulomb plasticity model.

This option is used to define piecewise linear hardening/softening behavior for a material defined by the Mohr-Coulomb plasticity model. It must be used in conjunction with the MOHR COULOMB option.

Optional parameters

DEPENDENCIES

Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of the cohesion yield stress, in addition to temperature. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the cohesion yield stress depends only on the plastic strain and, possibly, on temperature. See Material Data Definition for more information.

Data lines to define Mohr-Coulomb hardening

First line

  1. Cohesion yield stress.

  2. Absolute value of the corresponding plastic strain. (The first tabular value entered must always be zero.)

  3. Temperature.

  4. First field variable.

  5. Second field variable.

  6. Etc., up to five field variables.

Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than five)

  1. Sixth field variable.

  2. Etc., up to eight field variables per line.

Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the dependence of the cohesion yield stress on plastic strain and, if needed, on temperature and other predefined field variables.
