Module: solid

Category: materialprop

Type string: "recruitment polynomial"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
mu0 mu0 1 []
mu1 mu1 0 []
mu2 mu2 0 []

Description

The material type for a polynomial weak bond recruitment function is recruitment polynomial.

For this material the recruitment function is given by

\[ F\left(\Xi\right)=\mu_{0}+\mu_{1}\Xi+\mu_{2}\Xi^{2} \]

where \(\Xi\) is the measure of strain that triggers a new reactive weak bond generation. This function is unbounded with increasing \(\Xi\). Users should typically employ \(\mu_{0}=1\).

Example:

<recruitment type="recruitment poly">
  <mu0>1</mu0>
  <mu1>0</mu1>
  <mu3>50</mu3>
</recruitment>
