Introduction - Strain Amplitude Sweeps
Quick demo of how to setup a strain amplitude sweep in MCalibration. You can use the approach summarized here to to show that the response of linear viscoelasticity is independent of the strain amplitude, and that the Bergstrom-Boyce model can predict the Payne Effect.
Here are the steps:
- Create the input strain amplitude DMA data in the Data Tab
- Select a viscoelatic material model
- Perform the analysis by clicking Run Once
The following video contains the details of how to use strain amplitude sweeps.
