MATT8

Thermal Shell Element Orthotropic Material Dependence

Description: Specifies temperature-dependent table references for MAT8 material properties. This entry is used if a MAT8 entry is specified with the same MID.

Format:

Example:

Field Definition Type Default
MID Material property identification number that matches the MAT8 identification number. Integer > 0 Required
T(E1) TABLEMi identification number for modulus of elasticity in longitudinal direction, also defined as the fiber direction or 1-direction. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(E2) TABLEMi identification number for modulus of elasticity in lateral direction, also defined as the matrix direction or 2-direction. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(NU12) TABLEMi identification number for Poisson's ratio ( for uniaxial loading in 1-direction). Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(G12) TABLEMi identification number for in-plane shear modulus. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(G1Z) TABLEMi identification number for transverse shear modulus for shear in 1-Z plane. Integer ≥ 0 or blank

T(RHO) TABLEMi identification number for mass density. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(Ai) TABLEMi identification number for thermal expansion coefficient in i-direction. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(Xt), T(Xc) TABLEMi identification number for allowable stresses or strains in tension and compression, respectively, in the longitudinal direction. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(Yt), T(Yc) TABLEMi identification number for allowable stresses or strains in tension and compression, respectively, in the lateral direction. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(S) TABLEMi identification number for allowable stress or strain for in-plane shear. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(GE) TABLEMi identification number for damping coefficient. Integer ≥ 0 or blank
T(F12) TABLEMi identification number for interaction term in the tensor polynomial theory of Tsai-Wu. Integer ≥ 0 or blank

Remarks:

  1. Temperature-dependent material properties are only calculated when a temperature distribution for materials is defined by using TEMPERATURE, TEMPERATURE(MATERIAL), or TEMPERATURE(BOTH) Case Control commands.
  2. Fields 3, 4, etc., of this entry correspond, one-by-one, to fields 3, 4, etc., of the MAT8 entry referenced in field 2. The value in a particular field of the MAT8 entry is replaced or modified by the table referenced in the corresponding field of this entry. A blank or zero entry means no temperature dependence of that field on the MAT8 entry.
  3. Any quantity modified by this entry must have a value on the MAT8 entry.
  4. Table references must be present for each item that is temperature-dependent.
