*MOHR COULOMB HARDENING
13.17 *MOHR COULOMB HARDENING: Specify hardening forthe Mohr-Coulomb plasticity
model.
Thisoption is used to define piecewise linear hardening/softening behaviorfor a m aterialdefined by the Mohr-
Coulomb plasticity model. Itmust be used in conjunc tion with the *MOHR COULOMB option.

Optional parameter:
DEPENDENCIES
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of
the cohesion yield stress, in addition to temperature. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed
that the cohesion yield stress depends only on the plastic strain and, possibly, on temperature.
See “Specifying field variable dependence” in “Material data definition,” Section 16.1.2 of the
ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, for more information.
Data lines to define Mohr-Coulomb hardening:
First line:
1. Cohesionyield stress.
2. Absolutevalue of the corresponding plastic strain. (The first tabular value entered must always
be zero.)
3. Temperature.
4. Firstfield variable.
5. Second field variable.
6. Etc.,uptofivefieldvariables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greaterthan five):
1. Sixth��eld variable.
