    Modeling closed cell foam -- what are the a, b, c. constants and intial presre

    Dear All,

    I want to use closed cell foam model in Ansys-LS Dyna. I don't know about the physical meaning and values of a, b, c constants and also value for the initial foam pressure. Any help in finding this data will be highly appreciated.

    Regards

    What is the LS-DYNA name/number for that material model?
    Did you read the LS-DYNA documentation?
    What material are you studying?

    Thank you for your reply Jorgen, here are the details

    Name of the Ansys material model is "Closed Cell Foam"
    Number of the model is LS Dyna Material Model # 53 // http://www.kxcad.net/ansys/ANSYS/ans...L_matlex1.html
    The material i am using is Styrene Butadiene Rubber // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrene-butadiene

    Unfortunately there are no examples of this material model in Ansys LS Dyna Documentation.

    Regards

    Khan
