*TENSION STIFFENING
4. First field variable.
5. Second field variable.
6. Etc., up to five field variables.
The first point at each value of temperature must be a stress fraction of 1.0 at a strain of 0.0.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than five):
1. Sixth field variable.
2. Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the dependence of the postcracking behavior
on temperature and other predefined field variables.
Data lines if the parameter TYPE=DISPLACEMENT is included:
First line:
1. Displacement, , at which a linear loss of strength after cracking gives zero stress. (Units of
L.)
2. Temperature.
3. First field variable.
4. Second field variable.
5. Etc., up to six field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than six):
1. Seventh field variable.
2. Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the dependence of the postcracking behavior
on temperature and other predefined field variables.
