MSC.NASTRAN Plasticity Model (MATS1)


Test ID

G-807

Description

This TestPak includes tensile stress-strain curves with Poisson's ratio to define an elastic-plastic material model. The resulting material card is a combination of MAT1 and MATS1 and, if temperature dependence is an issue, MATT1, identified by a common material ID number (MID).

Included Tests

1x D-010 Solid Density
1x M-206 Tensile Stress-Strain, Strength, Modulus and Poisson's Ratio

Options

Temperature dependence (MATT1) can be incorporated into this model by ordering the model at multiple temperatures.

This TestPak can be extended to a MAT2 or MAT9 material model; call DatapointLabs for details.

Samples

: 6 tensile bars

[details]

Application

This model is used to describe the non-linear plasticity of a material.
