Description

The material type for an unconstrained continuous fiber distribution material is continuous fiber distribution.

The fibers parameter defines the fiber constitutive relation and associated material properties. The distribution parameter defines the fiber density distribution function. The scheme parameter specifies the numerical integration scheme.

Example:

<material id="1" name="Material" type="solid mixture">
  <solid type="neo-Hookean">
    <density>1</density>
    <E>1</E>
    <v>0.3</v>
  </solid>
  <solid type="continuous fiber distribution">
    <fibers type="fiber-exponential-power-law">
      <alpha>0</alpha>
      <beta>2</beta>
      <ksi>1</ksi>
    </fibers>
    <distribution type="spherical">
    </distribution>
    <scheme type="fibers-3d-gkt">
      <nph>7</nph>
      <nth>11</nth>
    </scheme>
  </solid>
