concreteproperties.stress_strain_profile.StressStrainProfile

class StressStrainProfile(strains, stresses)

Bases: object

Abstract base class for a material stress-strain profile.

Implements a piecewise linear stress-strain profile. Positive stresses & strains are compression.

Parameters

• strains (List[float]) – List of strains (must be increasing or equal)

• stresses (List[float]) – List of stresses

Methods

get_compressive_strength	Returns the most positive stress.
get_elastic_modulus	Returns the elastic modulus of the stress-strain profile.
get_stress	Returns a stress given a strain.
get_tensile_strength	Returns the most negative stress.
get_ultimate_compressive_strain	Returns the largest compressive strain.
get_ultimate_tensile_strain	Returns the largest tensile strain.
get_unique_strains	Returns an ordered list of unique strains.
get_yield_strength	Returns the yield strength of the stress-strain profile.
plot_stress_strain	Plots the stress-strain profile.
print_properties	Prints the stress-strain profile properties to the terminal.
