Large Strain Viscoelastic Model for Balloon Film
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a constitutive model capable of predicting the anisotropic viscoelastic behavior of balloon film subject to large strains and cyclic loading. The model is based on the free volume theory of nonlinear viscoelasticity enhanced with a switching rule for treating loading and unloading differently. The model has been implemented in the finite element analysis program Abaqus/Standard and the results have been compared with experiments on the balloon film StratoFilm 420 under biaxial tension and shear.

Viscoelastic behaviour of pumpkin balloons
The lobes of the NASA ULDB pumpkin-shaped super-pressure balloons are made of a thin polymeric film that shows considerable time-dependent behaviour. A nonlinear viscoelastic model based on experimental measurements has been recently established for this film. This paper presents a simulation of the viscoelastic behaviour of ULDB balloons with the finite element software ABAQUS. First, the stan...
متن کاملModelling of Anisotropic Viscoelastic Behaviour in Super-Pressure Balloons
Large balloon structures are made of thin anisotropic polymeric film that shows considerable time-dependent material behaviour. While the material has been fully characterised and a detailed time-dependent material description by means of a nonlinear viscoelastic Schapery material model is available, there is no suitable numerical implementation for finite element analysis. This paper presents ...
متن کاملImplementation and Validation of Schapery-Rand Anisotropic Viscoelasticity Model for Super-Pressure Balloons
The thin film used for the NASA Ultra Long Duration Balloons (ULDB) shows considerable time-dependent behaviour. Furthermore, experiments on scaled ULDB balloons have revealed that wrinkles are present over a wide range of pressures. A numerical model has been developed describing the nonlinear anisotropic viscoelastic material behaviour by means of a Schapery-type model and this model has been...
متن کاملMorphological Instability and Kinetics of an Elastic Film on a Viscoelastic Layer
This paper develops a theoretical model for wrinkling of an elastic film on a viscoelastic layer. The film is elastic and subjected to a compressive residual strain. The viscoelastic layer is sandwiched between the film and a rigid substrate. The nonlinear von Karman plate theory is employed to model the film, and a thin-layer approximation is adopted for the viscoelastic layer. The stability o...

The purpose of this paper is to analysis the viscoelastic models under dynamic loading. A five-parameter model is chosen for study exhibits elastic, viscous, and retarded elastic response to shearing stress. The viscoelastic specimen is chosen which closely approximates the actual behavior of a polymer. The module of elasticity and viscosity coefficients are assumed to be space dependent i.e. f...
