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(G2Z) | TABLEMi identification number for transverse shear modulus for shear in 2-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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Any quantity modified by this entry must have a value on the MAT8 entry.
- Table references must be present for each item that is temperature-dependent.
