FEM MaterialReinforced/de

Beschreibung

Creates a reinforced matrix material. It combines a matrix material (e.g. concrete) and a reinforcement material (e.g. steel).

The FEM reinforced material task panel

Anwendung

1. To create a new MaterialReinforced object do the following:
   • Click the Reinforced material (concrete) button or choose the Model → Materials → Reinforced material (concrete)‏‎ option from the menu.
2. To edit an existing MaterialReinforced object:
   • Double-click it in the Tree view.
3. Select the Matrix Material from the drop-down list.
4. Optionally press the Launch Editor button to access the material editor. The following material properties have to be defined: Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, compressive strength and angle of friction.
5. Select the Reinforcement Material from the drop-down list.
6. Optionally press the Launch Editor button to access the material editor. A yield strength has to be defined.

Notes

• In the CalculiX solver settings, one has to set Material Nonlinearity to linear if FEM MaterialMechanicalNonlinear is not used.
• More information about this feature, and an example of its usage, can be found in Analysis of reinforced concrete with FEM.
