Hello there,

I think that possibly your damage model is not man enough for the job.
In the best scenario, results would be mesh-dependent, as softening would tend to concentrate on a single row...

Hi All,

I am wondering of what happens if a linear material is used within a non-linear, large-strain analysis.
I can think about two options:
1) linear strain measure is used in the material...

Hello,

I have a question on the interpretation of certain test data.

Referring for example to ageing testing, I am required to provide a logarithmic chart of the results.

Samples have been...

Feihuzhao,

thanks for the reply.
Let me explain better my question.

Let's assume my material has a relaxation time of 1000 sec, and I need to compute stresses afetr 10,000 seconds.

What is...

Hello All,

I have a question on modelling with regards to predicting the long term behaviour of a viscoelastic body.

If a linear viscolelastic material is used, with relaxation time equal to...

FE Guru,

many thanks

Hi FEGuru,

and thank you for your suggestions.

Just for clarity, are you implying I should switch to some viscoplastic model? (you mention permanent deformations).

And why should that be...

Dear All,

I have an issue which I am sure you will be able to help me with.

I modelling an elastomeric component bonded to a sharp - edged metallic component.
I am using a Mooney Rivlin...
