$matTag	integer tag identifying material
$K0	elastic stiffness
$as_Plus	strain hardening ratio for positive loading direction
$as_Neg	strain hardening ratio for negative loading direction
$My_Plus	effective yield strength for positive loading direction
$My_Neg	effective yield strength for negative loading direction
$Lamda_S	Cyclic deterioration parameter for strength deterioration
$Lamda_C	Cyclic deterioration parameter for post-capping strength deterioration
$Lamda_A	Cyclic deterioration parameter for acceleration reloading stiffness deterioration (is not a deterioration mode for a component with Bilinear hysteretic response).
$Lamda_K	Cyclic deterioration parameter for unloading stiffness deterioration
$c_S	rate of strength deterioration
$c_C	rate of post-capping strength deterioration
$c_A	rate of accelerated reloading deterioration
$c_K	rate of unloading stiffness deterioration
$theta_p_Plus	pre-capping rotation for positive loading direction (often noted as plastic rotation capacity)
$theta_p_Neg	pre-capping rotation for negative loading direction (often noted as plastic rotation capacity)
$theta_pc_Plus	post-capping rotation for positive loading direction
$theta_pc_Neg	post-capping rotation for negative loading direction
$Res_Pos	residual strength ratio for positive loading direction
$Res_Neg	residual strength ratio for negative loading direction
$theta_u_Plus	ultimate rotation capacity for positive loading direction
$theta_u_Neg	ultimate rotation capacity for negative loading direction
$D_Plus	rate of cyclic deterioration in the positive loading direction (this parameter is used to create assymetric hysteretic behavior for the case of a composite beam)
$D_Neg	rate of cyclic deterioration in the negative loading direction (this parameter is used to create assymetric hysteretic behavior for the case of a composite beam)
