Modelling Rubber material (Hyperelastic or viscoelastic) in Abaqus

Modelling Rubber material (Hyperelastic or viscoelastic) in Abaqus

Modelling Rubber material (Hyperelastic or viscoelastic) in Abaqus

(OP)
Hi All,

Can Anybody guide me how to model the rubber elastic plastic properties in FEM packages like Abaqus to create the same elasticity effect.

As rubber is viscoelastic or hyperelastic material. How one can define the properties in abaqus to replicate the same effect as material by selecting respective modelling technique in abaqus.

I am familiar with abaqus and I know about different hyperelastic and visco elastic model available in ABAQUS. I just want to know how would you use the uniaxial true stress strain curve in abaqus to define the material. Do you use compression stress-strain part of graph for yielding and use tension stress-strain part for elasticity. Or you define the graph with tension and compression at the same time to define the material property. Any one can give me the right way to model it please.

Kind Regards
Mohamed
