This chapter discusses new material models or changes to existing material models. It provides an overview of the following enhancements:
“Enhancements to parallel rheological framework,” Section 6.1
“User-defined frequency domain viscoelastic behavior,” Section 6.4
“New hybrid formulations for user-defined material behavior,” Section 6.5
“Different stiffness in tension versus compression for traction-separation elasticity,” Section 6.6
“Element deletion controlled by state variables,” Section 6.7
