Al6061ElasticityTensor
Computes the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for Al6061 as a function of temperature and formulates the elasticity tensor.
Description
The Al6061ElasticityTensor model computes Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, along with the associated elasticity tensor, for Al6061 based on recommendations in Rabin et al. (2020).
Young's Modulus
Three options are available.
The
USHPRRoption is the default and uses values consistent with the stress vs. strain data on pages 456-458 in Rabin et al. (2020). This option is highly recommended if plasticity for Al6061 is used (see Al6061PlasticityStressUpdate).The
Kaufmanoption computes a temperature-dependent Young's modulus based on data in Rabin et al. (2020). See p. 455 for details.The
KaufmanFitoption uses a smoothed fit of the piecewise linear relationship in theKaufmanoption. This preserves the character of theKaufmandata while providing better derivatives.
Poisson's Ratio
The Poisson's ratio is set to 0.33. See p. 455 of Rabin et al. (2020) for details.
