Porous Plasticity
Use the Porous Plasticity subnode to define the properties of a plasticity model for a porous material.
Porous Plasticity Model
Use this section to define the plastic properties of the porous material.
Yield Function F
The Yield function F defines the limit of the elastic regime F(σ, σys) ≤ 0.
Select a Yield function F for the porous plasticity criterion — Shima-Oyane, Gurson, Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman, Fleck-Kuhn-McMeeking, or FKM-GTN.
