Constructor Detail

UnidirectionalLinearAxialMaterial

public UnidirectionalLinearAxialMaterial()

UnidirectionalLinearAxialMaterial

public UnidirectionalLinearAxialMaterial(double k,
                                         double d)

Method Detail

computeF

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

Overrides:

computeF in class LinearAxialMaterial

computeDFdl

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

Overrides:

computeDFdl in class LinearAxialMaterial

isDFdldotZero

public boolean isDFdldotZero()

Description copied from class: AxialMaterial

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.

Overrides:

isDFdldotZero in class LinearAxialMaterial

equals

public boolean equals(AxialMaterial mat)

Overrides:

equals in class LinearAxialMaterial

clone

public LinearAxialMaterial 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 LinearAxialMaterial

Returns:

clone of this property
