• Bergstrom-Boyce Model Info

    If you are interested in learning more about the Bergstrom-Boyce (BB) model,
    which is now a built-in feature of both Abaqus and ANSYS, then you should consider checking out the Bergstrom-Boyce model page on PolymerMechanics.com.

    The Bergstrom-Boyce model is a really cool model that works very for predicting the strain-rate dependence and hysteresis or elastomer-like materials. Since I developed this model as part of my Ph.D. work at M.I.T, I might be slightly biased

    The PolymerMechanics.com web site is a new web site that I have been working on. It is not completely done yet, but there is already some useful information on the site. The main value of the site is that it contains useful information about various models, and that is contains an online calculator for the models that are supported.

    Shift Functions and Reduced Time

    Hi, .

    For thermorehelogically simple materials in viscoelasticity, we know that the use of shift functions to calculate relaxation times (tau) at different temperatures

    tau(T) = tau(Tref)A(T) ...

    thanks for answering and clearing me about negative parameters.
    i guess i've found the problem. the stress curve i obtain from my abaqus model is always decelerating regardless of the material model...

    negative parameters may indicat that the strain energy density function is not stable for certain loading condition, although they may be fine for your experimental conditions.

    Hi Jorgen,

    Thanks for your experiment data, i searched it for quite long time on internet,
    Ii am using Ansys to simulate some rubber key behavior, do you have the material spec of NR with 55 pph...

    Incorporation of Huemer model in abaqus CAE using subroutine

    I recommend that read about user-frictional subroutines in Abaqus.

    Also, please post your question on the Forums page instead.

    Modal analysis of aluminum foam in ANSYS

    Dear Jorgen,
    I posted my question on Forums page again on date 2010-06-28 03:46 as suggested by you, but still did not recieved any answer from your side. I am waiting for your suggetions.
