Von-Wolffersdorf parameters in hypoplastic law; see the theory section. Here is in degrees. The index specifies the element_group, see element_group.
Attention: you need to initialize 4 history variables for application of this hypoplasticity model. The first history variable contains the void ratio, and should be initialized by initially specifying node_dof records. The second history variable will be filled with the time step size of an internally used sub-stepping algorithm for hypoplasticity; this is meant for postprocessing only. The third history variable will be filled with the mobilized friction angle; this is meant for postprocessing only. The fourth history variable will be filled with the a measure of the effective stiffness following from the hypoplasticity law ( ). this is meant for postprocessing only.
