Forum: Elastomers

Hello, I have a question about force computed by Abaqus 6.8 student edition when solving viscoelastic materials. I am using an axysymetric...

Dear All, I have very basic question. Why rubbers are incompressible? I am not expecting answers like it's poisson's ratio is 0.5 or bulk...

Dr. Jorgen, I am modeling a Viton "rod" seal that may experience 2000psi. Will this type of pressure require a hyperelastic model. If so, i have...

Dr. Jorgen and all, I am a metallurgical engineer that has been tasked with getting data for an elastomeric seal so that an accurate abaqus model...

Hello in most of hyperelastics model, the true stress is expressed via dev(b*). In the case of uniaxial tensile test (for exemple Neohookeen model)...

hi, i am using a neoprene rubber tube as a damping material in vibration analysis. but i dont know what values for K_i, G_i and Tau_i should give??...

Dear All, First of all, hi! I have just joined the forum and appreciate any help that people might be able to offer. My question: I have test...

I found in Wikipedia that it ACTS as one. Which is true?

Hello Everyone I am very new to non linear Analysis..I have to simulate a rubber (Natural rubber or Silicon rubber) shock obsorber which is...

I am not an analyst and do not have Abaqus on my computer. I am a design engineer but I am being asked to supply the Young's Modulus and Poisson's...

Do any of you have experience of predicting life-time of rubber. The material i'm interested is a epdm-rubber, and the product is used to prevent...

Hello - I am interested in performing some equabiaxial testing. Would appreciate comments from anyone with experience in this. Some of the...

Dear all, I have rather theoretical question about using Ansys. I'm working with hyperelastic material and I want to perform a non-linear...

hi, I looking for an elastomer that having C01 about 2.5 and C10 about 1 (mooney-rivlin constants),what kind of polymer I should use?

Hello there, Does anyone know anything about ViscoData&ViscoShift. That is a program that can be found on the internet. I searched if the procedure...
