Week - 10 Hyperelastic Material Models

AIM : calculate the Mooney Rivlin and Ogden material constants and compare the both using stress-strain data from a Dogbone specimen tensile test with 100 percent strain.

OBJECTIVE :

  • Extract the engg stress- strain data in MPa/(mm/mm) from the given raw data image and do the cleaning of data.
  • Calculate Mooney Rivlin and Ogden material constants and compare between them.
  • Validate the constants by using them in the following material card.

THEORY :

  • Mooney Rivlin Material : Mooney Rivlin material desfined as

    `W = sum C_(ij)(I_1-3)^i(I_2-3)^j`

    where Cij are empirically determined material constatnts.
    I1 and I2 are the first and second invariants.
    W is hydrostatic work term which will be included in strain energy functional. By varying the index values of i and j we can change the constitutive equations and use it approximately for our component.
  • Ogden Material : this material model is derived from the equation

    `W(lambda_1, lambda_2, lambda_3)= sum_(p=1)^n mu_p/ alpha_p(lambda_1^(alphap)+lambda_2^(alphap) +lambda_3^(alphap)-3)`

    mu and alpha are ogden constants

PROCEDURE :

  • Extract the data from the given raw data image file.
  • extracted data plotted of Engg Stress- Strain
  • the data we taken is to the point 5.00E-01 engg strain and 5.84E-01.
  • Import the Dogbone Specimen into LS-PrePost.
  • Define curve of the following Engg stress- strain data by using define curve card.



  • SECTION_SHELL card is used to define as shell section elements for the dogbone specimen with element formulation 16 and thickness as 2mm


  • Boundary Conditon applied using BOUNDARY_SPC_SET and PRESCRIBED_BOUNDARY_MOTION.
  • As we doing Tensile test, to fix one end of the specimen we constrain all the DOF except Y- direction for contraction while testing.
  • now, middle nodes in both corner get arrested in Y-direction so that it can maintain its axis for specimen.
  • For the right side edge nodes we apply PRESCRIBED_BOUNDARY_MOTION for displacement in X- direction.
  • here the displacement is defined with respect to time using DEFINE_CURVE card.



  • CONTROL_IMPLICIT_GENERAL card is used to activate the Implicit Analysis for Tensile Test.
  • CONTROL_IMPLICIT_AUTO card is used to adjust the timestep automatically while running test.
  • CONTROL_TERMINATION card is used to determine the end time of the simulation as 1ms.
  • DATABASE_BINARY_D3PLOT card is used to store the output data of the tensile test with the given interval timestep of 0.01ms.
  • DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY is used to define STRFLG as 1 to store computed data of the elastic strain.
  • MATERIAL CARD :
    MAT_HYPERELASTIC_RUBBER card used to define the material properties of hyperelastic material for the dogbone specimen elements.
  • N=1 is set to find the Mooney Rivlin material constants and load the curve data of engg stress strain in LCID.


  • Similarly we take N= 2 and 3 to get the Mooney Rivlin material constants.




  • save the file with using .k extension and run the test.
  • After the successfull run of the test the output files are stored in the following assigned location.
  • the d3hsp file of the following models opened seperately in Notepad++.
  • the value of Mooney constants for N=1 are as
    Mooney constant c1 = 0.2082E+00
    Mooney constant c2 = 0.1038E+00
  • the value of Mooney constants for N=2 are as
    Hyperelastic Constant C10= 0.2123E+00

    Hyperelastic Constant C02= 0.3996E+00
    Hyperelastic Constant C30= 0.0000E+00
  • the value of Mooney constants for N=3 are as

    Hyperelastic Constant C01= 0.1478E+00
    Hyperelastic Constant C11= -0.3843E+01

    Hyperelastic Constant C02= 0.2346E+01
    Hyperelastic Constant C30= -0.7246E-01
  • To validate the material model, the value of N in material card is set to ZERO and the value of Mooney Rivlin Constants are assigned.


  • save the file and run the file for tensile test with same conditions.
  • Similarly we run Tensile test by using OGDEN_RUBBER material card.
  • To find OGDEN Material Constants, the value of N is set to be 1,2 and 3 seperately.

(1) Mooney-Rivlin material

(2) Ogden Material

CONCLUSION :

  • From above data you can see the comparision between Mooney Rivlin and Ogden material constants output Engg stress- strain for N=1.we learned to verify and validate material model of hyper elastic material card.
  • the stress-strain data extracted from the d3hsp file is converted into Engg stress- strain and compare with given raw data.
  • the results from both the simulation of tensile test showed a slight deviation in decimal values.
  • Result shows both the hyperelastic material cards are valid for the use to describe the hyperelastic behaviour.
