Description

The linear-truss material defines the material properties for a linear-truss domain. It is currently the only material that can be assigned to a linear-truss domain.

Note that in the current implementation the Poisson's ratio v parameter is not used since the linear truss is assumed to be incompressible (i.e. \(\nu=0.5\)).
