I have a doubt regarding the Hyperelastic and Viscoelastic material modelling in ANSYS using Mooney-Rivlin material constants.
ANSYS theory manual says that for large deformation and large strains, the material modelling (i.e. constitutive behaviour) is same for hyperelastic and viscoelastic. Is it so?
Generally, Mooney-Rivlin material constants are used to model Hyperelastic behaviour (rubber-like materials).
Hi, I am new to this blog & asking for help from you! If any one know that Ansys has 3D composite element that we can use to simulate PCB with Metal Vias (In-plan Fiber glass & epoxy & Out of Plan Metal Cylinders. Tx
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched last year, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
I am a student using ansys for solve problems but i have a problem "how to find at which force value the component will be fail". A ball has to pass through a cone and i am intrested to know that force value at which boll will be pass through cone nerrow section while boll diameter is large than small dia of cone.
Plz help me anyone ansys masters
Thanks dear frnd & sir...
Hi,
I am looking for the following paper.
Theory of representations for tensor functions - A unified invariant approach to constitutive equations - Q -S Zheng, Applied Mechanics Reviews, 47(11), 545-587, 1994.
If anyone has this paper, I request you to share.
Thanking you,
Best regards,

Hi everybody. Is it possible in ABAQUS to simulate plastic behavior of laminates (fiber reinforced polymer)? In other words, how can I define plasticity properties of a lamina without applying subroutines? tnx
Composite sandwich structures offer several advantages
over conventional structural materials such as lightweight, high
bending and torsional stiffness, superior thermal insulation and
excellent acoustic damping. One failure mechanism in a composite
sandwich structure is the debonding of the composite facesheets from the
core structure. A well-formed adhesive fillet at the interface of the
honeycomb core cell walls and the laminate is a significant factor in
preventing bond failure. In the present work, honeycomb composite
sandwich panels are manufactured using a low-cost
vacuum-bag-pressure-only out-of-autoclave manufacturing process.
CYCOM®5320 out-of autoclave prepreg is used for the facesheet laminates
Preimpregnated fibers or prepregs are widely used to
produce high quality composite parts. One process in particular, known
as cavity molding, is frequently used to process high quality thick
composite details with exceptionally precise dimensions by using a
platen press to apply heat and pressure to rigid tooling and thereby
entice the prepreg within to cure into the shape of the confines of an
internal cavity. The objective of the research described here is to
develop an mathematical model for glass/epoxy prepreg which simulates
the resin flow, heat transfer, consolidation and curing of cavity-molded
flex beams which varies significantly with location. An enhanced
understanding of the mechanisms involved will help significantly improve
