Advanced elastomer simulation with Marc
Marc Advanced Elastomer
Objective:
You will learn the mathematical basics of simple and complex hyperelastic material models and the determination of the necessary parameters using uni- and equibiaxial tests carried out on site Material tests of elastomeric materials. The application in Marc is demonstrated using sample calculations and various problems such as self-contact and strategies for convergence are discussed. In addition, will special material properties, such as the Mullins effect, shown on the basis of measurements and taken into account of stress softening in the simulation calculation. Current strategies for lifetime calculation of elastomeric materials using different strength hypotheses are presented. Finally, the possible implementation of new material models in Marc is discussed.
