This command is used to construct a uniaxial bilinear hysteretic material object with pinching of force and deformation, damage due to ductility and energy, and degraded unloading stiffness based on ductility.

$matTag integer tag identifying material
$s1p $e1p stress and strain (or force & deformation) at first point of the envelope in the positive direction
$s2p $e2p stress and strain (or force & deformation) at second point of the envelope in the positive direction
$s3p $e3p stress and strain (or force & deformation) at third point of the envelope in the positive direction (optional)
$s1n $e1n stress and strain (or force & deformation) at first point of the envelope in the negative direction
$s2n $e2n stress and strain (or force & deformation) at second point of the envelope in the negative direction
$s3n $e3n stress and strain (or force & deformation) at third point of the envelope in the negative direction (optional)
$pinchx pinching factor for strain (or deformation) during reloading
$pinchy pinching factor for stress (or force) during reloading
$damage1 damage due to ductility: D1(mu-1)
$damage2 damage due to energy: D2(Eii/Eult)
$beta power used to determine the degraded unloading stiffness based on ductility, mu-beta (optional, default=0.0)
