SCALE Y VALUES BASED ON CP

Scales the y-values of a quasi-static stress-strain curve to dynamic strain-rate conditions using the Cowper-Symonds visco-plastic model. For each supplied strain rate, the worker computes the dynamic scaling factor (1 + (ε̇/C)^(1/P)) with an optional strain-dependent decay controlled by Beta, and returns one scaled curve per rate. Use this worker when preparing rate-dependent material curves for LS-DYNA MAT_24 or similar keyword inputs.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Quasi-static Curve quasi-staticcurvetobescaledby_cower-symonds vector   Quasi-static stress-strain (or force-displacement) curve whose y-values will be scaled; supply as a vector (x, y pairs) representing the baseline rate-independent response.
Rates rates scalar 1.0   Comma-separated list of strain rates (s⁻¹) at which scaled curves are to be generated; default is 1.0, which produces a single curve at unit rate.
C Parameter c_parameter scalar 40.0   Cowper-Symonds coefficient C (s⁻¹); controls the sensitivity of the dynamic amplification factor to strain rate — default 40.0 is typical for mild steel.
P Parameter p_parameter scalar 5.0   Cowper-Symonds exponent P (dimensionless); governs the shape of the rate-hardening curve — default 5.0 is typical for mild steel.
Beta beta scalar 0.05   Strain-decay coefficient Beta (dimensionless); introduces a gradual reduction of the dynamic amplification as a function of plastic strain — default 0.05; set to 0.0 to disable decay.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
curve_scale_cowper_symonds_output_1 curve_scale_cowper_symonds_output_1 vector Collection of dynamically scaled stress-strain curves (one per supplied strain rate), each with the same x-values as the input curve and y-values amplified by the Cowper-Symonds factor.
