Defining E as a function of Temperature and Strain rate

[ashu28]

Hi,
This might seem to be a trivial question, but I am unable to figure out how to define E (modulus) as a function of both strain rate and temperature in the *elastic option in the input file ?

I can see how to specify E(T) but not E(T,strain rate). Can anyone please let me know.

Hmm, I don't think you can make the modulus strain-rate dependent.

A work-around might be to use a linear (or non-linear) viscoelastic model that will effectively give a strain-rate dependent modulus.
