Incompressibility limit

Dear All,

I want to calculate  the limit of the fraction (J-1)/(1-2*nu) when material approach to incompressibility, where nu is the Poisson's ratio and J is the third invariant of the Cauchy-Green deformation tensor. In this case J->1 and nu->0.5, but I can't find any reference, how J depends on nu.

Intuitively, this limit has to be a finite value, as it is known that (J-1)^2/(1-2*nu) -> 0 (under the assumption that there is no hydrostatic pressure). Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Incompressibility and Bulk Stress for Viscoelasticity

Hi all,

 

I am performing compression on a viscoelastic material with relaxation only in shear and the bulk being nearly incompressible.

The relaxation times for shear are of the order of millisecons so shear stress is dissipated almost immediately at the end. But there are high stresses due to bulk part.

Near-incompressible analysis

Hello all,

I am studying some simple finite elements for 2d near-incompressible analysis. Particularly, I am interested in the MINI element. It is basically a 3-node triangle element with nodal pressure and displacement degree of freedoms enriched by a bubble function. Could someone that has some experience with these elements point me out about advantages and drawbacks of using these type of elements?

Thanks,

Alejandro.
