calc_cru_fbm: Calculate peak root reinforcement according to FBM model

In GJMeijer/FBMcw: Generic fibre bundle model for soil reinforcement by plant roots

Description

This function calculates the peak root reinforcement according to the FBM, assuming discrete root classes

Usage

calc_cru_fbm(dr, phir, tru, betaF, tru0, k = 1.2, dr0 = 1)

Arguments

dr	representative diameter of root class (numeric array, size m)
phir	root area ratio of roots in class (numeric array, size m)
tru	tensile strength of roots in class (numeric array, size m)
betaF	load sharing parameter (numeric scalar)
tru0	Tensile strength of root with reference diameter (numeric scalar)
k	Wu/Waldron factor accounting for root orientations at failure (numeric scalar, default 1.2)
dr0	Reference diameter (numeric scalar, default 1.0)

Value

numeric scalar with root reinforcement preductions 'cru_fbm'

Examples

calc_cru_fbm(seq(1,4), rep(0.01,4), 10e3*seq(4)^-0.5, 1, 10e3)
