Material Laws
A large variety of materials is used in the structural components and must be modeled in stress analysis problems. For any kind of these materials a range of constitutive laws is available to describe by a mathematical approach the behavior of the material.
The choice of a constitutive law for a given material depends at first to desired quality of the model. For example, for standard steel, the constitutive law may take into account the plasticity, anisotropic hardening, the strain rate, and temperature dependence. However, for a routine design maybe a simple linear elastic law without strain rate and temperature dependence is sufficient to obtain the needed quality of the model. This is the analyst design choice. On the other hand, the software must provide a large constitutive library to provide models for the more commonly encountered materials in practical applications.
Radioss material library contains several distinct material laws. The constitutive laws may be used by the analyst for general applications or a particular type of analysis. You can also program a new material law in Radioss. This is a powerful resource for the analyst to code a complex material model.
