Dear all,

Recently I have got a masters thesis about PTFE and in the appendix, Abaqus/Standard Code is given.

I am trying to put this data into abaqus/cae in order to see the material behavior with this data set. However, I could not put the data into correct places.

I can put Shear Test data in viscoelastic material. When I just put this data and submit the work, I get this error:

-

Error in job uehuzt034o: *VISCOELASTICITY REQUIRES THE USE OF EITHER *ELASTIC, *HYPERELASTIC OR *HYPERFOAM

Error in job uehuzt034o: 1 elements have been defined with zero hour glass stiffness. You may use *hourglass stiffness or change the element type. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemZeroHourGlassStiffness.

Error in job uehuzt034o: 1 elements are missing elastic property reference. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingElasticPropRef.

Error in job uehuzt034o: Analysis Input File Processor exited with an error.

Job uehuzt034o aborted due to errors.

-

In this data, what is Long-term normalized shear compliance or modulus?

I am pasting the code below. I would like to create a material from this data.

I just put the elastic data (Moduli and Poissons Ratio), now it works.

The problem is, when I extract stress vs strain data, I am having a linear behavior. Is that normal?

You can get a linear response if the characteristic time of the applied strain is smaller or larger than what is covered in the linear viscoelastic Prony series. It is important to use a wide enough range of relaxation times in the Prony series to cover the conditions that are of interest.

How can I change the characteristic time of the applied strain and have a wide enough range of relaxation time?

In my analysis, I used Frequency: Formula

g1*real and all others are 0.

If i change it to Prony, what should I enter there?

It appears that your simulation is using a max time of 1 sec. What range of frequencies do you have data for?

The Prony series input format is useful is your have stress-relaxation data available.
