If you write several separate workbooks for the same material, having
the functions for the materials separate from the workbooks sounds
useful. (Leaving aside the issue of distributing the plugins, I agree
that this is inconvenient). 

A naming convention like STEEL_STIFFNESS, CONCRETE_STIFFNESS could be
used to manage different materials.
