/MAT/LAW88

Block Format Keyword This law represents the behavior of a hyperelastic material with strain rate effects. This law is generally used to model incompressible rubbers, polymers, foams, and elastomers. It is defined by a family of stress versus strain curves at different strain rates.

Unloading can be represented using an unloading function or by providing hysteresis and shape factor inputs to a damage model based on energy. This law is only compatible with solid elements.

Comments

  1. This model utilizes an Ogden material formulation. Material parameters are directly derived from the input stress strain curves from uniaxial tests for different strain rates. The material is assumed to be nearly incompressible with Poisson’s ratio = 0.495.
  2. Strain rate effects can be modeled by including loading engineering stress strain test data at different strain rates fct_IDLi. This can be easier than calculating viscous parameters for traditional hyperelastic material models. When using stress strain curves at different strain rates, the following suggestions are recommended:
    • The stress strain curve should be monotonic increasing and smooth. The derivative of the stress strain curve should be smooth.
    • Enable strain rate smoothing by defining, Fsmooth =1 with Fcut =500 Hz.
  3. Unloading can be represented using an unloading function, fct_IDunL, or by providing hysteresis, Hys, and shape factor, Shape. Otherwise, the first loading curve fct_IDLi is used as an unloading function.

    When using the hysteresis parameters, the loading curves are used for both loading and unloading and the unloading stress tensor is reduced by:

    σ = ( 1 D ) σ

    with

    D = ( 1 H y s ) ( 1 ( W c u r W max ) S h a p e )

    Where,
    W c u r
    Current energy
    W max
    Maximum energy corresponding to the quasi-static behavior
  4. The loading and unloading curves are defined with positive stress and strain in tensile and negative stress and strain in compression.
    The following curves are needed according to Tension flag:
    Figure 1.
  5. /VISC/PRONY can be used with this material law to include viscous effects.
