Considering the material parameters

Post by alihaji1365 »

hello
how i can Considering the suitable value for isotropic hardening ratio in steel02? is there a refrences for determinate a suitable value for this parameters?in concrete materials(concret01 concret02 concrete03 and etc) how i can considering asuitable value for parameters acording to compressive strength? for example what value is suitable for "crushing strength , tensile strength , strain at compressive strength , strain at crushing strength , lambda) acording to compressive strength?
tank you very much

As of Steel02, the isotropic hardening ratios depend on what you are trying to model. These are calibrated from material tests. The same holds for concrete materials. If you look through PEER reports on projects that involved experimental tests you may find recommendations that will answer your questions.
