generate_strainrange: Generate suitable range of strains for plotting FBMc/FBMcw...

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

Description

This function generates range of strains (defined as the strain in the reference root, normalised by the strain to peak in the reference root) that can be used for plotting the mobilisation of root reinforcement This normalised strain is referred to as 'epsr0rel'

Usage

generate_strainrange(drmin, drmax, betaF, betat, dr0 = 1, margin = 1, n = 101)

Arguments

drmin, drmax	minumum and maximum root diameter in bundle (numeric scalars)
betaF	load sharing coefficient (numeric scalars)
betat	Power law coefficient for root diameter-root tensile strength fit (numeric scalars)
dr0	Reference diameter (numeric scalar, default 1.0)
margin	Multiplier to generate a larger strain range than required for the FBMc model (numeric scalar, default 1.0)
n	Number of discrete points used along the strain range

Value

array with strain of (normalised strain) 'epsr0rel'

Examples

generate_strainrange(1, 5, 1, -0.5, margin = 1.5, n = 25)
