Hi everybody,
I'm trying to simulate the structural behavior of High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete specimens by means of the Concrete Damaged Plasticity Model.
My constitutive relation is represented by a multilinear law, with a nonlinear pre-peak followed by a softening branch.
I've found out that the plasticity model can be defined by means of stress-strain or stress-displacement curves. I need to define a pre-peak multilinear hardening by imposing a piecewise linear stress-strain law, and then a softening branch with a stress-displacement relation (I would like to avoid "manual" regularization i.e. divide the crack opening by the numerical crack bandwidth.
Do you know if there is any quick way to implement a mixed stress-strain/stress-displacement curve?
Thanks a lot
