*BIAXIAL

Characterize material through tests with loading active in two stress components at a time.

This option is used to define fabric behavior along the “fill” and “warp” fiber directions when the response in these directions is coupled. The biaxial test is conducted such that the ratio of the nominal strain along the fill and the warp directions remains fixed.

This page discusses:

Required parameters

COMPONENT

Set COMPONENT=1 to set the “fill” direction as the primary test direction for the biaxial test.

Set COMPONENT=2 to set the “warp” direction as the primary test direction for the biaxial test.

STRAIN RATIO

Set this parameter equal to the ratio of the strain in the lateral test direction to the strain in the primary direction for the biaxial test.

There are no data lines associated with this option.
