CappedMohrCoulombCosseratStressUpdate

buildconstruction:Undocumented Class

The CappedMohrCoulombCosseratStressUpdate has not been documented. The content listed below should be used as a starting point for documenting the class, which includes the typical automatic documentation associated with a MooseObject; however, what is contained is ultimately determined by what is necessary to make the documentation clear for users.

Capped Mohr-Coulomb plasticity stress calculator for the Cosserat situation where the host medium (ie, the limit where all Cosserat effects are zero) is isotropic. Note that the return-map flow rule uses an isotropic elasticity tensor built with the 'host' properties defined by the user.

  • smoothing_tolIntersections of the yield surfaces will be smoothed by this amount (this is measured in units of stress).
