This command is used to construct a uniaxial multilinear material object.

uniaxialMaterial MultiLinear $matTag $u1 $f1 $u2 $f2 $u3 $f3 $u4 $f4 $u5 $f5

$matTag integer tag identifying material
$u1 yield strength
$f1 initial elastic tangent
$u2 strain-hardening ratio (ratio between post-yield tangent and initial elastic tangent)
$f2 isotropic hardening parameter, increase of compression yield envelope as proportion of yield strength after a plastic strain of $a2*($Fy/E0). (optional)
$u3 isotropic hardening parameter (see explanation under $a1). (optional).
$f3 isotropic hardening parameter, increase of tension yield envelope as proportion of yield strength after a plastic strain of $a4*($Fy/E0). (optional)
$u4 isotropic hardening parameter (see explanation under $a3). (optional)
