Universal TestPak-Hyperelastic (Compressible)


Test ID

G-434

Description

This TestPak generates uniaxial tensile stress-strain, planar shear, uniaxial compression, and volumetric PVT data, which are then fitted to the Mooney-Rivlin, Ogden, or third-order polynomial models, as appropriate. Input files are provided for use with ANSYS software, Simulia (Abaqus/CAE) software, Nastran software, and SolidWorks software.

Included Tests

1x M-205 Tensile Properties of Elastomers
1x M-212 Compressive Properties of Elastomers
1x M-220 Planar Tension (Shear)
1x M-213 Confined Compression Stress-Strain (Hydrostatic, for rubbers)

Options

Samples

: 6 molded discs (25mm diam.)

[details]

: 6 thin sheets or film

Application

Use this TestPak to generate data required to analyze applications requiring a hyperelastic model with compressibility to account for behavior of a hyperelastic material which is forced into a confined space and undergoes volumetric compression. Typical use cases are for O-rings, high pressure seals, and shock absorbers. These materials are considered to be completely elastic, meaning that they show full recovery after being stretched multiple times.
