Rubber contacts

(OP)
hello

New user of Abaqus, i am working on rubbers contacts, and would like to use Abaqus to understand contact pressure, crack propagation, and make wear prediction.

WOuld you give me some tips?

Thanks

RE: Rubber contacts

Hi,
If you are using rubbers typically you would require a hyperealstic material to model it. Look through abaqus analysis manual and also through abaqus examples manual. they have lots of examples where they have modeled rubber in contact scenarios.
