computeF

public abstract double computeF(double l,
                                double ldot,
                                double l0,
                                double excitation)

computeDFdl

public abstract double computeDFdl(double l,
                                   double ldot,
                                   double l0,
                                   double excitation)

computeDFdldot

public abstract double computeDFdldot(double l,
                                      double ldot,
                                      double l0,
                                      double excitation)

isDFdldotZero

public abstract boolean isDFdldotZero()

Returns true if computeDFdldot() always returns zero. For a linear spring, this simply means the damping is zero. When dFdldot is always 0, then stiffness matrix will be symmetric.

equals

public boolean equals(AxialMaterial mat)

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

clone

public AxialMaterial clone()

Description copied from interface: CompositeProperty

Returns a clone of this composite property.

Specified by:

clone in interface CompositeProperty

Specified by:

clone in interface Clonable

Overrides:

clone in class MaterialBase

Returns:

clone of this property
