OBJECTIVE:
To create a 10 x 10 x 10 mm3 cube with 10 elements in each direction with Ogden_Material (MAT 77).
Solid elements need to be formulated as per following formulation:
- ELFORM 1
- ELFORM -1
- ELFORM 2
- ELFORM -2
Uniaxial tensile behaviour is to be studied till stretch ratio reaches 5.
Deliverables: (For each element formulation)
- An excel sheet with proper conversion and calculation of Stress/Strain and the Stretch Ratio for all the ELFORM.
- A proper image of the plot comparison of various ELFORMS against the Uniaxial Plot given in the challenge.
THEORY:
Engineering and True stress/ strain relations before the necking process.
`λ` : Stretch ratio
`ε`: Engineering strain
`ε`*: True strain
`sigma`: Engineering stress
`sigma`*: True stress
Relation between True stress and Engineering stress (Before necking in tensile loading)
`sigma`* = `sigma`(1 + `ε`)
so, `sigma` = `sigma`* / (1 + `ε`)
Relation between True strain and Engineering strain (Before necking in tensile loading)
`ε`* = ln (1 + `ε`)
So, e^(`ε`*) - 1 = `ε`
where, 1 + `ε` = `λ`
True strain = change in length/ instanteneous length.
Engineering strain = change in length/ origional length.
True stress/strain is experimental stress/strain.
Engieering stress/ strain is theoritical stress/strain.
Stretch ratio (`λ`):
`λ` : Stretch ratio
`δ`l : change in length
l : Final length
`ε`: Engineering strain
l* : origional length = 10mm
D: displacement
T: time step in ms
Engineering strain is defined as,
`ε` = `δ`l/l*
Stretch ratio is defined as,
`λ` = 1 + `ε`
Element formulation:
- Element formulation is the collection of mathematics and assumptions used while performing descritisation of finite elements steps to calculate nodal displcements.
- The derivations performed to evaluate nodal displacments during descretisation of finite elements are as per selected element formulation.
- A proper finite element formulation is selected while meshing the components.
- Deducing the nodal displacemnets as per selected formulation determines the nodal forces, stresses and strains.
- Every element formulation has limitations and as per the relationships in governing equation, a proper formulation can be selected. The derivations are as per the formulation and derivations depend on the shape function.
- Element formulation is determined by the order of the elements, elements could be one dimensional linear, two dimensional or three dimensional elements.
DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT:
Type of loading:
displacement dependent loading.
load is assigned in step of 0.5mm/ms
According to question: we need to calculate nodal displacements, stresses, and strains uptil stretch ratio = 5
`λ` = 5
so, `ε` = 4
i.e `δ`l = 40 because l = 10mm

Table 1.0: Displacement dependent loading with time
Type of analysis:
Implicit
Loading is proportional to time and steady, problem is static and induced forces should be converged.
Hence, problem need to be solved using Implicit solving.
Analysis solution design:
*CONTROL_IMPLICIT_GENERAL
IMFLAG = 1, so that LS DYNA solves the problem in implicit scheme.
DT0 = ~End time/ 100 = 8.1/100 = 0.081
*CONTROL_IMPLICIT_AUTO
IAUTO = 1, it lets the LS DYNA to automatically switch the load step value.
*CONTROL_IMPLICIT_SOLUTION
default value, to deal with non linearity associated with hyper elastic material.
*CONTROL_IMPLICIT_SOLVER
default value, to deal with the linearity.
NOTE: It is very much necessary to theoritically assess the problem to be solved so that proper approximations can be taken to assign proper values to the impliict control cards.

CONCLUSION:
- Data and plots are almost similar in all four cases.
- Engineering stress is lower than True stress in all cases.
- Engineering strain is greater than True strain in all cases.
- Relationship between stress and stretch ratio is non linear for both stresses.
- Relationship between engineering strain and stretch ratio represent a straight line(linear). Relationship between true strain and stretch ratio is non linear.
- The problem is solved using Implicit solver because loading is steady with time. (Not transient). The cube is not in dynamic motion. Strain is uniaxial (z direction) which is achieved using proper SPC boundary conditions.
