CONVERT TRUE-STRESS-VS-STRAIN CURVE BASED FROM EFFECTIVE–STRESS-VS-STRAIN CURVE

Converts an effective stress-vs-strain curve to a true stress-vs-strain curve by removing the elastic component using Young’s modulus and a plastic-strain offset. Use this worker when material test data is provided in engineering/effective form and a true (Cauchy) stress-strain curve is required for MAT_24 or similar LS-DYNA material cards.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Effective Stress to True effective_stressto_true vector   Input effective (engineering) stress-vs-strain curve as an (N×2) vector of [strain, stress] pairs (stress in consistent pressure units, strain dimensionless); this is the source curve to be converted.
Youngs Modulus youngs_modulus scalar 1.0   Young’s modulus of the material (scalar, same pressure units as the stress values in the curve); used to subtract the elastic strain component — defaults to 1.0, so must be set explicitly to match the curve’s stress units (e.g. GPa or MPa).
Offset offset scalar 0.002   Plastic-strain yield offset used in the 0.2%-offset method to locate the yield point (dimensionless strain); defaults to 0.002 (0.2%) and rarely needs to be changed unless a non-standard offset is required.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
curve_efftotrue_output_1 curve_efftotrue_output_1 vector Resulting true stress-vs-plastic-strain curve as an (N×2) vector of [plastic strain, true stress] pairs, ready for direct use in LS-DYNA MAT_24 or equivalent material definitions.
