Topic: material model for concrete under cyclic loading

Hi,
This is Stefan from Germany again.
In the manual I found something about a "Cycling Reinforcement" (1D Cyclic, Pinto-Menegoto) material model. Is there something simular to this for the behaviour of concrete.
Something that degrades the stiffness from cycle to cycle?

I read a paper online: "Material model for finite element modelling of fatigue crack growth
in concrete" by Pryl Dobromil*, Cervenka Jan, Pukl Radomir

How can I use the described model in ATENA? I got version 5. A 2D Simulation may be sufficient for the beginning.
Is it part of the CC Basic Materials which you can choose in the formular?
best regards,
Stefan

Re: material model for concrete under cyclic loading

Hello stefan_k, have you already looked at the "UNLOADING" parameter of the NLCem2 material model family?

The NLCem2Fatigue material is only available through the ATENA-GiD user interface of ATENA Science. See ATENA-GiD User's Manaul, 5.4.1 Fatigue and 5.3.1.3 CC3DNonLinCementitious2Fatigue for more information.
