The Material Property dialog box is shown clicking Material Property in the Beam Belt dialog box. And the parameters are explained below.
Figure 1 Material Property dialog box
•Damping Ratio(
): Defines the damping ratio. It has
the:
•Structural damping ratio of the beam
•The damping C is computed from the following equation.
•Young's Modulus: Defines the young's modulus of beam assembly
•Shear Modulus: Defines the shear modulus of beam assembly.
•Poisson’s Ratio: Defines the poisson's ratio of beam assembly.
•Update Area Property: Automatically calculates the Moment of Area and Cross Section Area.
•Ixx, Iyy, Izz: Defines the moment of area of beam assembly.
•Shear Area Factor : Defaines the shear area factors Asy and Asz.
•Cross Section Area: Defines the cross-section area of beam assembly.
•Stress Recovery Points: Defines the y locations in element coordinates relative to the beam center line for stress data recovery. Default value is calculated with Thickness/2.0.
