uniaxialMaterial Hysteretic $matTag $s1p $e1p $s2p $e2p <$s3p $e3p> $s1n $e1n $s2n $e2n <$s3n $e3n> $pinchX $pinchY $damage1 $damage2 <$beta>

For this type of material, how I can define these value:$pinchX $pinchY $damage1 $damage2 <$beta>
What are the practical range of this value ?
where can I get the input example file ?
what is the physical meaning of these value?
