Hyperelastic Module – Required Test
The Hyperelastic Module produces the basic information about nonlinear stress-strain behavior that is needed to run a finite element model and to represent initial transient softening (Mullins effect) in the model.
This module is a pre-requisite for any fatigue analysis.
- simple tension, slow cyclic loading, raw data
- planar tension, slow cyclic loading, raw data
- biaxial tension, slow cyclic loading, raw data
- 5 strain levels
- number of slabs needed for test: 4
Analysis and Reporting / Deliverables
- identification of a suitable hyperelastic function and parameters for FEA
- identification of parameters for specifying Mullins effect in ABAQUS, ANSYS or MARC
- unit cube validation and stability check
Use With:
- Ogden hyperelastic law
- Mullins/Ogden Roxburgh
- Plus, other hyperelastic laws on request
