Spline DE curve Model
Presentation
This model defines a nonlinear behavior law D(E) from pairs of experimental D, E values for an isotropic material.
Mathematical model
The model is constructed in the following manner:
- entry of experimental D, E values
- linear interpolation between these points with a linear extrapolation beyond the last one
The shape of theD(E) curve is given in the figure below.
