Inelastic Strain Rate
The Inelastic Strain Rate subnode allows you to provide inelastic strain contributions to the material models Linear Elastic Material, Linear Elastic Material, Layered, Nonlinear Elastic Material, or Hyperelastic Material on a variety of formats as in External Strain. Here, however, the inelastic contribution is given as a rate, and the total inelastic contribution is computed by integrating this rate in time. For Linear Elastic Material, Layered, the inelastic contribution can be applied to arbitrary layers in a multilayered membrane when the Composite Materials Module is available.
Shell Properties
See the documentation for the Inelastic Strain Rate node in the Layered Shell chapter.
All other settings for the Inelastic Strain Rate node are described in the documentation for Inelastic Strain Rate in the Solid Mechanics interface.
