Description

The material type for a Veronda-Westmann material with an ellipsoidal continuous fiber distribution is EFD Veronda-Westmann.

The stress \(\tilde{\boldsymbol{\sigma}}\) for this material is given by,

\[ \tilde{\boldsymbol{\sigma}}=\tilde{\boldsymbol{\sigma}}_{VW}+\tilde{\boldsymbol{\sigma}}_{f}\,. \]

Here, \(\tilde{\boldsymbol{\sigma}}_{VW}\) is the stress from the Veronda-Westmann basis (see Veronda-Westmann), and \(\tilde{\boldsymbol{\sigma}}_{f}\) is the stress contribution from the ellipsoidal fiber distribution (see EFD-Uncoupled).

Example:

<material id="1" type="EFD Veronda-Westmann">
  <c1>1</c1>
  <c2>0.5</c2>
  <k>1000</k>
  <beta>4.5,4.5,4.5</beta>
  <ksi>1,1,1</ksi>
  <mat_axis type="local">0,0,0</mat_axis>
</material>
