Isotropic Shear Elasticity

In this case the deviatoric stress-strain relationship is given by

S = 2 μ e^{e l}

where

S

is the deviatoric stress and

e^{e l}

the deviatoric elastic strain. You must provide the elastic shear modulus, μ, when you define the elastic deviatoric behavior.

The stability criterion requires that $μ > 0$ .

Parameters


Input Data	Description
Shear Modulus	Shear modulus, $μ > 0$ .
Use temperature-dependent data	Specifies material parameters that depend on temperature. A Temperature field appears in the data table. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
Number of field variables	Specifies material parameters that depend on field variables. Field columns appear in the data table for each field variable you add. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
