PID

Unique shear property identification number.

(Integer > 0)

MID

Material identification number of a MAT1 entry.

(Integer > 0)

T

Thickness of shear panel.

(Real ≠ 0.0)

NSM

Nonstructural mass per unit area.

(Real)

F1

Effectiveness factor for extensional stiffness along edges 1-2 and 3-4.

Default = 0.0 (Real > 0.0)

F2

Effectiveness factor for extensional stiffness along edges 2-3 and 1-4.

Default = 0.0 (Real > 0.0)

Comments

1.The effective extensional area is defined by means of equivalent rods on the perimeter of the element. If F1 < 1.01, the areas of the rods on edges 1-2 and 3-4 are set equal to:

where PA is the panel surface area (half the vector cross product area of the diagonals) and L12 and L34 are the lengths of sides 1-2 and 3-4. Thus, if F1 = 1.0, the panel is fully effective for extension in the 1-2 direction. If F1 > 1.01, the areas of the rods on edges 1-2 and 3-4 are each set equal to (0.5 x F1 x T).

Extensional Area for Shear Panel

Thus, if F1 = 30, the effective width of skin contributed by the panel to the flanges on edges 1-2 and 3-4 is equal to 15T. The significance of F2 for edges 2-3 and 1-4 is similar.

2.Poisson's ratio coupling for extensional effects is ignored.
3.This card is represented as a property in HyperMesh.
