Simulation of non-linear thin material in IDEAS for defects

Simulation of non-linear thin material in IDEAS for defects

Simulation of non-linear thin material in IDEAS for defects

(OP)
Hello everybody,

I would like to know what are all the factors effecting the resonance frequency of a structure(non-linear material in particular).

I am using the following properties to define the material in IDEAS , which is paper for food packing purposes.

Youngs modulus - 2755 mpa
bulk modulus   - 1059 mpa
poissons ratio - 0.3
mass density   - 684 kg/m^3

Unfoutunately i get all the resonance peaks less than zero when i derive the FRF for the structure, which does not correlate with the experimental results.

what else do i need to define for the material to get the correct frequency peaks? Is it damping or stifness or what?

Thanks in advance
Mirza

are your parts manifold or non-manifold
ideas needs a solid to give weight mass ect.
no free edges or open surfaces.

Hello,

My part is a paper clamped at both the ends.
I think that would make it manifold.
I did create a very thin solid and given the mass density but not the weight.

How do i make sure about no free egdes or open spaces.

Thanks

Mirza
