TensorMechanicsPlasticMeanCapTC

buildconstruction:Undocumented Class

The TensorMechanicsPlasticMeanCapTC has not been documented. The content listed below should be used as a starting point for documenting the class, which includes the typical automatic documentation associated with a MooseObject; however, what is contained is ultimately determined by what is necessary to make the documentation clear for users.

Associative mean-cap tensile and compressive plasticity with hardening/softening

Overview

Example Input File Syntax

Input Parameters

    C++ Type:UserObjectName

    Controllable:No

    Description:A TensorMechanicsHardening UserObject that defines hardening of the mean-cap compressive strength. This should always be less than tensile_strength (it will typically be negative). Yield function = - (trace(stress) - compressive_strength) for trace(stress)

  • internal_constraint_toleranceThe Newton-Raphson process is only deemed converged if the internal constraint is less than this.

    C++ Type:double

    Controllable:No

    Description:The Newton-Raphson process is only deemed converged if the internal constraint is less than this.

  • tensile_strengthA TensorMechanicsHardening UserObject that defines hardening of the mean-cap tensile strength (it will typically be positive). Yield function = trace(stress) - tensile_strength for trace(stress)>tensile_strength.

    C++ Type:UserObjectName

    Controllable:No

    Description:A TensorMechanicsHardening UserObject that defines hardening of the mean-cap tensile strength (it will typically be positive). Yield function = trace(stress) - tensile_strength for trace(stress)>tensile_strength.

  • yield_function_toleranceIf the yield function is less than this amount, the (stress, internal parameter) are deemed admissible.

    C++ Type:double

    Controllable:No

    Description:If the yield function is less than this amount, the (stress, internal parameter) are deemed admissible.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:Whether to use the custom MeanCapTC returnMap algorithm.

Optional Parameters

  • allow_duplicate_execution_on_initialFalseIn the case where this UserObject is depended upon by an initial condition, allow it to be executed twice during the initial setup (once before the IC and again after mesh adaptivity (if applicable).

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:In the case where this UserObject is depended upon by an initial condition, allow it to be executed twice during the initial setup (once before the IC and again after mesh adaptivity (if applicable).

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

    Controllable:No

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

  • execution_order_group0Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first). Note that negative group numbers may be used to execute groups before the default (0) group. Please refer to the user object documentation for ordering of user object execution within a group.

    Default:0

    C++ Type:int

    Controllable:No

    Description:Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first).
