Hi,

I am doing drop test simulation in Ls-Dyna for a transport system consisting of polyethylene foam as cushioning material. Does anybody know damping coefficient value levels for LDPE (Low density polyethylene) foam materials in the range of density of 30-80 kg/m3. 

Thanks in advance

In the last decade, different
cyclic plasticity models, based on the “continuum” approach, have been proposed
in order to account for different mechanical effects (such as ratchetting,
strain range dependence, non-proportional loading and memory effect), [1, 2]. A
disadvantage of this approach is the elevated number of model parameters
introduced in order to correctly predict the material behaviour. The determination
of these parameters, usually difficult and expensive, is one of the reasons why the modern
constitutive models are not widely used in finite element simulations of

Raiway axle failures have been the starting point for the studies on fatigue. However, recent accidents and papers (see [1] by Hoddinott) have shown that corrosion-fatigue plays a significant role.

At PoliMi we have recently investigated this topic finding interesting results by corrosion-fatigue tests on small-scale specimens and, recently, a validation of the model by full-scale corrosion-fatigue tests (see papers [2-3]).

A postdoc position is available next January at Research Center for Applied Sciences, Academia Sinica in Taiwan on the molecular simulation of the water/graphene interface.
