Defining Tensile/Compression Strength for Plastics in ABAQUS
Submitted by mizzjoey on Wed, 2008-08-06 04:05.Hi.
This is a simple question about defining material properties of a plastic I guess.
I have a value for tensile & compression strength and have to include this in my model, alongside the modulus & poisson ratio. I use *Elastic for modulus & poisson, but I don't know which card to use for tensile & compression.
Have already checked the manual, but the search 'tensile compression strength' leads me to the Hashin criteria page, which is not suitable for my material.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
jo
