how to model the damping behavior of viscoelastic passive damper using ANSYS applied to a sandwich beam

 

 dear all, 

How can I model the changing
relationship of shear modulus with frequency for a passive constrained viscoelastic
damper used as part of a composite  sandwich beam which is subject to a walking
excitation using ANSYS ??

modeling of a gel using visco elastic properties using ansys

sir,

i amhe currently doing project using ansys. i have to model the properties of a gel using viscoelastic properties. there are different viscoelastic models in ansys , i dont know which model should use and how we get the parameters for that model.hope a favourable reply

regards

Hi,

I've been learning how to implement material models using UMAT in ABAQUS and I have

some simple questions:

 

I've been trying to implement the viscoelastic models in the paper:

Rupture of a highly stretchable acrylic dielectric elastomer (VHB)

Dielectric elastomer transducers are often subject to large tensile stretches and are susceptible to rupture. Here we carry out an experimental study of the rupture behavior of membranes of an acrylic dielectric elastomer (VHB 4905). Pure-shear test specimens are used to measure force-displacement curves, using samples with and without pre-cracks. We find that introducing a pre-crack into a membrane drastically reduces the stretch at rupture. Furthermore, we measure the stretch at rupture and fracture energy using samples of different heights at various stretch-rates. The stretch at rupture is found to decrease with sample height, and the fracture energy is found to increase with stretch-rate.

Postdoc Position in Advanced Materials Lab, Northwestern University

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in Brinson’s Advanced Materials Lab involving collaborative work on finite element modeling of nanostructured polymer composites. The majority of the work will be split across two projects on the subject.  The first project involves 3D modeling of filled elastomers, with a focus on the viscoelastic properties. Non-linear viscoelastic modeling experience is a plus, but not required.

Call for special issue papers: Mechanics of cells, tissues, and biomaterials

The paramount role of mechanics in life has recently been the center of attention of many researchers. This special issue will be focusing on the role of mechanics in the life of cells and tissues and their interactions with biomaterials. Original research and review papers are solicited for review and publication in the journal Mechanical Sciences . Mechanical Sciences is an academic open-access journal sponsored by the Library of Delft University of Technology and The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).

Meshing difficulty in viscoelastic constrained layer damping

Hi,

I am simulating constrained layer damping with viscoelastic layer in Abaqus.

Used 3D continuum element - C3D20R for base an face sheet and and same with hybrid 

formulation C3D20RH for visco tape.

In FE mesh, I tied the nodes (through tie constraint) of base with that of visco tape and 

also the visco tape with that of face sheet. But in the deformed mode shape, I am finding 

the visco tape fully penetrated inside the casing (I guess as there is no contact, only tie 

constraint).

Viscoelastic properties of pre- and post-cure cellular rubbers using rheometer

Hi All,

I would like to know if anyone has had the opportunity to investigate cellular rubbers rheology. I am thinking of characterizing the viscoelastic properties of cellular rubber during cure and after cure in the rheometer, using ASTM D6601. What I am expecting is a distorted cellular structure due to very constrained foam expansion during the blowing agent's decomposition, so the results would obviously be different than the ones obtained from a DMTA machine.

Would like to hear from anyone with some rheology / viscoelastic characterization experience.

Viscoelastic Analysis With Nanoindentation DMA

Viscoelasticity can be studied using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) during Nanoindentation. By applying controlled oscillatory stress the resulting strain can easily be measured. An elastic material will have stress and strain in phase while a viscous-elastic material will have strain lagging stress. In many applications during quality control and R&D, it is important to reliably test this behavior.

Computational homogenization of linear viscoelastic materials: a simplified approach

Several methods have been proposed for numerical homogeniation of linear viscoelastic materials, mainly based on Laplace transform or on multilevel (FE^2) approaches. In this paper, we introduce a much simpler technique based on a discrete representation of the effective relaxation tensor related to the homogeneous medium, which can then be used to evaluate the constitutive law in the form of a convolution product. In practice, calculations on the RVE reduce to 3 transient simulations in 2D and 6  in 3D. More details in

Viscoelasticity

hi,

I have to do stress relaxation of fabric under stress condition. For this I have assumed my fabric as orthotropic material.

I need to find a stress relaxation on fabric under stress condition. Can anyone suggest the procedure to solve this analysis in

ANSYS.

Thanks

Viscoelastic RVE for CNT Composites

Hi
all,

I am Mohammad Aramfard senior student of mechanical engineering and I joined this
great forum yesterday, so I am not very familiar with regulations and rules.Laughing

I am working on modeling CNT composites using cylindrical RVE and I found up to
now that there isn`t a viscoelastic RVE for representing behavior of these
composites.

orthotropic nonlinear viscoelasticity/creep in Ansys

Hi,

 I would like to know if there is any chance to simulate orthotropic nonlinear viscoelasticity/creep of CFRP in ANSYS (e.g. by means of user programmable features (UMAT subroutines) or using the software DIGIMAT or others)? For the nonlinear part I would like to use Schapery's method.

 Many thanks for yor help!

Does anyone know where can I find a manual and or tutorial for ANSYS 12.0 mechanical APDL , specifically where I can find something related to the use of viscoelastic material models???
