Multilinear Kinematic Hardening

Question - What does Multilinear Kinematic Hardening do?

Answer - Multilinear Kinematic Hardening plasticity model simulates metal plasticity behavior under cyclic loading. You must supply the data in the form of plastic strain vs. stress. The first point of the curve must be the yield point, that is, zero plastic strain and yield stress. No segment can have a slope of less than zero. The slope of the stress-strain curve is assumed to be zero beyond the last user-defined stress-strain data point. No segment of the curve can have a slope of less than zero.
