3.1.5.19. Elastic Material

This command constructs a linear elastic uniaxial material.

uniaxialMaterial Elastic $matTag $E <$eta> <$Eneg>

Argument	Type	Description
$matTag	integer	unique material tag
$E	float	tangent stiffness
$eta	float	optional damping tangent (default 0.0)
$Eneg	float	optional stiffness in compression when different from tension (default = $E)

Example

1. Tcl Code

uniaxialMaterial Elastic 1 3000.0

2. Python Code
