Viscoelastic material model in Abaqus

Submitted by Sajib Saha on

Hi,

I am trying to model asphalt concrete as viscoelastic mayterial in abaqus. As I have seen from past studies, people have used prony series parameters for time domain viscoelasticity and additionally also used elastic modulus from resilient modulus test data. As I already have dynamic modulus test data, I can calculate prony series parameter from it but the problem is with resilient modulus. Do I need to run resilient modulus test again to get the elastic parameter in abaqus or is there any other way to work with dynamic modulus test?

THERMAL ANALYSIS-CONVECTION FILM COEFFICIENT

Submitted by anand m on

My thermal simulation in the alternator required convective coefficient . Presently i have computed convective coefficient for stator,rotor,rectifier assembly by thermal testing at steady state condition. I have completed thermal simulation for these components of the alternator . Next, i want to perform thermal simulation for entire alternator.Is there anybody, provide me guidance to formulate correlation between geomentry,ambient condition,convective flim coefficient.Further, i have to model contact among components in the alternator. it requires thermal contact conductance.
