II.3.4 Calculated results

Several methods allow to recover stiffness, compliance or conductivity matrices in a specified direction.

• “getCompliance” returns an Array of $6\times 6$ elements corresponding to the material compliance matrix.
• “getStiffness” returns an Array of $6\times 6$ elements corresponding to the material compliance matrix.
• “getInPlaneCompliance” returns an Array of $3\times 3$ elements corresponding to the in-plane material compliance matrix.
• “getInPlaneStiffness” returns an Array of $3\times 3$ elements corresponding to the in-plane material compliance matrix.
• “getInPlaneAlfaE” returns an Array of 3 elements corresponding to the in-plane $\left\{\alpha E\right\}$ vector.
• “getInPlaneBetaE” returns an Array of 3 elements corresponding to the in-plane $\left\{\beta E\right\}$ vector.
• “getInPlaneAlfa” returns an Array of 3 elements corresponding to the in-plane $\left\{\alpha \right\}$ vector.
• “getInPlaneBeta” returns an Array of 3 elements corresponding to the in-plane $\left\{\beta \right\}$ vector.
• “getOOPSCompliance” returns an Array of $2\times 2$ elements corresponding to the out-of-plane shear material compliance matrix.
• “getOOPSStiffness” returns an Array of $2\times 2$ elements corresponding to the out-of-plane shear material compliance matrix.
• “getOOPSAlfaG” returns an Array of 2 elements corresponding to the out-of-plane $\left\{{\alpha }_{s}G\right\}$ vector.
• “getOOPSBetaG” returns an Array of 2 elements corresponding to the out-of-plane $\left\{{\beta }_{s}G\right\}$ vector.
• “getOOPSAlfa” returns an Array of 2 elements corresponding to the out-of-plane $\left\{{\alpha }_s\right\}$ vector.
• “getOOPSBeta” returns an Array of 2 elements corresponding to the out-of-plane $\left\{{\beta }_s\right\}$ vector.
• “getInPlaneLambdaT” returns an Array of $2\times 2$ elements corresponding to the in-plane thermal conductivity matrix $\left[{\lambda }_k^T\right]$.
• “getInPlaneLambdaH” returns an Array of $2\times 2$ elements corresponding to the in-plane moisture conductivity matrix $\left[{\lambda }_k^H\right]$.

All these methods have one optional argument: an angle corresponding to the direction of observation wrt material axes, and in which the components of the matrix are expressed.

On the other hand, three methods return material scalar characteristics and have no argument:

• “getRho” returns a real value corresponding to the material density $\rho$.
• “getCp” returns a real value corresponding to the material specific heat capacity $C_p$.
• “getRhoCp” returns a real value corresponding to the material volumic heat capacity $\rho C_p$.

The different calculated results from the ClaMat object are expressed in the units system associated with the object.
