Part 1: Tutorial on how to predict the cold drawing or necking response of thermoplastics (such as polycarbonate).
Tutorial on how to make the PolyUMod TN and TNV models better capture the stiffness non-linearity before yielding.
Demonstration of how you can quickly calibrate the Extended Tube Model that is available in COMSOL Multiphysics.
How to run COMSOL Multiphysics using an input file and a command prompt. It is easy using the Java API.
Guide to using MCalibration and PolyUMod with COMSOL Multiphysics. A complete start-to-finish tutorial is presented.
Soft polymer foams, and some other materials, often exhibit different stiffnesses in uniaxial tension and compression. Most material models cannot predict this type of behavior, but there are some excellent choices for this.
Summary of the key new features of version 6.1.0 of MCalibration and PolyUMod.
PolyUMod is a library of advanced user material models for Abaqus, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, MSC Marc, and COMSOL.
The Bergstrom-Boyce (BB) model is a powerful model for elastomers. This post graphically demonstrates what the material parameters mean.
Summary of the TNV model from the PolyUMod library. The TNV model can accurately predict the mechanical response of almost all polymers.
