JOINT PLASTICITY: Specify plas tic properties for elastic-plastic joint eleme nts.
This option is used to define the plastic behavior for elastic-plastic joint elements. It can be used only in
conjunction with the

Required parameter:
TYPE
Set TYPE=SAND to specify the model for interaction of spud cans and sand. Set TYPE=CLAY
to specify the model for interaction of spud cans and clay. Set TYPE=MEMBER to specify the
parabolic model for structural members.
Optional parameter:
DEPENDENCIES
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of
the plasticity property values. If this param eter is omitted, it is assumed that the plasticity property
values are constant or depend only 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 for TYPE=SAND:
First line:
1. , yield strength in pure tension.
2.
, constant for yield surface shape.
3.
, constant for yield surface shape.
4.
, soil friction angle, in degrees.
5.
, soil unit weight.
6. Temperature.
