Silicone Material Model
Silicone Material Model
(OP)
Does any body have experience modeling silicone parts in FEA? Would it best to use the Odgen or Mooney-Rivlin material model; or the Standard (Isotropic Linear Elastic) material model? Does anyone have correlated a silicone model with empirical data? Any publications I can consult in the subject?





RE: Silicone Material Model
If there was one superior model for hyperelasticity, the others would no longer be relevant.
The best recommendation is to obtain material data, fit it for all available models which your software can model, and choose the most appropriate fit. You may want to refer to Thread727-53543 which describes some of this in much more detail.
