*UNIAXIAL TEST DATA

Data lines to specify uniaxial test data for the Marlow model:

First line:

1. Nominal stress,

.

2. Nominal strain,

.

3. Nominal lateral strain,

. Not needed if the POISSON parameter is specified on the

*HYPERELASTIC option or if the *VOLUMETRIC TEST DATA option is used.

4. Temperature, .

5. First field variable.

6. Second field variable.

7. Etc., up to four field variables.

Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than four):

1. Fifth field variable.

2. Etc., up to eight field variables per line.

Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the test data as a function of temperature
and other predefined field variables. Nominal strains and nominal stresses must be given in ascending
order.

*HYPERFOAM

There are no parameters associated with this option.

Data lines to specify uniaxial test data for a hyperfoam:

First line:

1. Nominal stress,

.

2. Nominal strain,

.

3. Nominal lateral strain,

. Default is zero. Not needed if the POISSON parameter is

specified on the *HYPERFOAM option.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to give the stress-strain data.
