Category: materialprop

Type string: "relaxation-Park-dist-user"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
tau []
beta []

Description

The material type for this relaxation function is relaxation-Park-dist-user.

The reduced relaxation function for this material type is given by

\[ g\left(\mathbf{F}\left(v\right);t-v\right)=\frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{t-v}{\tau}\right)^{\beta}} \]

where \(\tau\left(K_{2}\left(v\right)\right)\) and \(\beta\left(K_{2}\left(v\right)\right)\) are user-specified functions, given either as mathematical expressions or loadcurves. The definition of \(K_{2}\left(v\right)\) is given in Section relaxation-exp-dist-user and this section also provides examples of how to specify these functions.
