LS-DYNA Hyperviscoelastic Rubber (MAT_077)


Test ID

G-782

Description

Testing and model fitting areperformed to generate data for hyperviscoelastic rubber material models. Hyperelastic material properties are generated as per [G-780] with either a Mooney-Rivlin or Ogden model. Additionally, stress relaxation measurements are performed and a six parameter Prony series is fit to the master curve viscoelastic data. Both models are used to create a MAT_077 model for LS-DYNA (either MAT_077_H or MAT_077_O depending on what hyperelastic model is used in fitting).

Included Tests

1x D-010 Solid Density
1x M-205 Tensile Properties of Elastomers
1x M-211 Lubricated Compressive Stress-Strain (Biaxial Tension)
1x M-611 Stress Relaxation/Creep Compliance by Time Sweeps

Options

If simulations of initial deformations are desired, please specify "no precycling".

Samples

: 6 hyperelastic test specimens

[details]

Application

This model is useful for hyperelastic materials that show rate effects. This can be used to simulate impact loading or creep situations depending on how the stress-relaxation measurements are made.
