Stabilized four-node tetrahedron with nonlocal pressure for modeling hyperelastic materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-linear hyperelastic response of reinforced elastomers is modeled using a novel three-dimensional mixed finite element method with a nonlocal pressure field. The element is unconditionally convergent and free of spurious pressure modes. Nonlocal pressure is obtained by an implicit gradient technique and obeys the Helmholtz equation. Physical motivation for this nonlocality is shown. An implicit finite element scheme with consistent linearization is presented. Finally, several hyperelastic examples are solved to demonstrate the computational algorithm including the inf–sup and verifications tests. Copyright q 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nonlinear analytical solution of nearly incompressible hyperelastic cylinder with variable thickness under non-uniform pressure by perturbation technique
In this paper, nonlinear analytical solution of pressurized thick cylindrical shells with variable thickness made of hyperelastic materials is presented. The governing equilibrium equations for the cylindrical shell with variable thickness under non-uniform internal pressure are derived based on first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The shell is assumed to be made of isotropic and homoge...

In this study, nonlinear analysis for thick cylindrical pressure vessels with arbitrary variable thickness made of hyperelastic functionally graded material properties in nearly incompressible state and clamped boundary conditions under non-uniform pressure loading is presented. Thickness and pressure of the shell are considered in axial direction by arbitrary nonlinear profiles. The FG materia...
متن کاملSpherical indentation method for determining the constitutive parameters of hyperelastic soft materials.
A comprehensive study on the spherical indentation of hyperelastic soft materials is carried out through combined theoretical, computational, and experimental efforts. Four widely used hyperelastic constitutive models are studied, including neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, Fung, and Arruda-Boyce models. Through dimensional analysis and finite element simulations, we establish the explicit relations ...
متن کاملModification of exponential based hyperelastic strain energy to consider free stress initial configuration and Constitutive modeling
In this research, the exponential stretched based hyperelastic strain energy was modified to provide the unstressed initial configuration. To this end, as the first step, the model was calibrated by the experimental data to find the best material parameters. The fitting results indicated material stability in large deformations and basic loading modes. In the second step, the initial pseudo str...
متن کاملRubber/Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite with Hyperelastic Matrix
An elastomer is a polymer with the property of viscoelasticity, generally having notably low Young's modulus and high yield strain compared with other materials. Elastomers, in particular rubbers, are used in a wide variety of products ranging from rubber hoses, isolation bearings, and shock absorbers to tires. Rubber has good properties and is thermal and electrical resistant. We used carbon ...
