Data Measurement and Analysis Chapter 1: IntroductionData Measurement and AnalysisExperiment
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg first noticed that the act of measurement introduces an uncertainty in the momentum of an electron, and that an electron cannot possess a definite position and momentum at any instant. This simply means that:
Test Results depend upon the measurement
Analysis
Analysis of continuum mechanics using FEA techniques introduces certain assumptions and approximations that lead to uncertainties in the interpretation of the results. This simply means that:
FEA Results depend upon the approximations
Together
This course combines performing the material testing and the analysis to understand how to eliminate uncertainties in the material testing and the finite element modeling to achieve superior product design.Experimental Elastomer Analysis 15

Typical Properties of Rubber Materials Chapter 1: IntroductionTypical Properties of Rubber MaterialsProperties:
It can undergo large deformations (possible strains up to 500%) yet remain elastic.The load-extension behavior is markedly nonlinear.Due to viscoelasticity, there are specific damping properties.It is nearly incompressible.It is very temperature dependent.
Loading:
1. The stress strain function for the 1st time an elastomer is strained is never again repeated. It is a unique event.2. The stress strain function does stabilize after between 3 and 20 repetitions for most elastomers.3. The stress strain function will again change significantly if the material experiences strains greater than the previous stabilized level. In general, the stress strain function is sensitive to the maximum strain ever experienced.4. The stress strain function of the material while increasing strain is different than the stress strain function of the material while decreasing strain.5. After the initial straining, the material does not return to zero strain at zero stress. There is some degree of permanent deformation.Experimental Elastomer Analysis 17

Long coiled molecules, with points of entanglement.Behaves like a viscous fluid.
Vulcanization creates chemical bonds (cross-links) atthese entanglement points.Now behavior is that of a rubbery viscous solid.
Initial orientation of molecules is random.Behavior is initially isotropic.
Fillers, such as carbon black, change the behavior.22 Experimental Elastomer Analysis

Temperature Effects, Tg Chapter 2: The Macroscopic Behavior of ElastomersTemperature Effects, Tg All polymers have a spectrum of mechanical behavior, from
brittle, or glassy, at low temperatures, to rubbery athigh temperatures.
The properties change abruptly in the glass transition region.
The center of this region is known as the Tg, the glass transition temperature.
Typical values of Tg (in oC) are: -70 for natural rubber, -55for EPDM, and -130 for silicone rubber. Experimental Elastomer Analysis 23

Cross-link density directly affects the stiffness.

Damage, Early Time Chapter 2: The Macroscopic Behavior of ElastomersDamage, Early Time Straining may break a fraction of the cross-links,
reduces the overall stiffness and may cause plasticity.
Low cycle damage is very evident in filled elastomers,due to breakdown of filler structure and changes in the conformation of molecular networks.

Chapter 2: The Macroscopic Behavior of Elastomers Deformation StatesDeformation States (cont.) FEA Material Model calibration requires certain
types of tests.
They require states of pure stress and strain, that isthat the stress/strain state be homogeneous.
homogeneous = uniform throughout(isotropic = identical in all directions)
Or at least homogeneous throughout a large area/volume of the test specimen (minimize end effects).
It is good practice to model and analyze the test specimenitself to prove homogeneity.
The button compression test is notoriously bad fromthis perspective.
Keep in mind that many ASTM test standards aredefined for characterization, or process control purposes.Many ASTM specs are NOT suitable for material modelcalibration.30 Experimental Elastomer Analysis

Chapter 3: Material Models, Historical Perspective Engineering Materials and AnalysisEngineering Materials and AnalysisClearly metals have been with us for a long time, unfortunately elastomers (natural and synthetic rubber) have just arrived relative to metals some 160 years ago. The study of elastomers has only spanned the last 60 years as shown in Table 1. If elastomers are to attain the position they seem to deserve in engineering applications, they must be studied comprehensively as have, for example, steel and other commonly used metals.

Chapter 3: Material Models, Historical Perspective A Word About Simple ShearA Word About Simple ShearThe simple shear mode of deformation is called simple shear because of two reasons: first it renders the stress strain relation linear for a Neo-Hookean material; secondly it is simple to draw.
Linear Stress Strain Relation comes from substituting the simple shear deformations modes of:
into
and then
Secondly the mode is simple to draw.

Model Limitations and Assumptions Chapter 3: Material Models, Historical PerspectiveModel Limitations and AssumptionsThis material model assumes that the rate of relaxation is independent of the load magnitude. For instance, for relaxation tests at 20%, 50%, and 100% strain, the percent reduction in stress at any time point should be the same.
The relaxation is purely deviatoric, there is no relaxation associated with the dilatational (bulk) behavior.
When used with a Mooney-Rivlin form model, the material is assumed to be incompressible. In MSC.Marc some small compressibility is introduced for better numerical behavior, namely if no bulk modulus is specified, then MSC.Marc computes the following for the bulk modulus:
When used with an Ogden model, the material may be slightly compressible, and if a bulk modulus is not supplied, it is estimated as:

Friction Test Chapter 4: LaboratoryFriction TestFriction is the force that resists the sliding of two materials relative to each other. The friction force is:
(1) approximately independent of the area of contact over a wide limit and
(2) is proportional to the normal force between the two materials.
These two laws of friction were discovered experimentally by Leonardo da Vinci in the 13th century, and latter refined by Charles Coulomb in the 16th century.
Coulomb performed many experiments on friction and pointed out the difference between static and dynamic friction. This type of friction is referred to as Coulomb friction today.
In order to model friction in finite element analysis, one needs to measure the aforementioned proportionally factor or coefficient of friction, . The measurement of is depicted here where a sled with a rubber bottom is pulled along a glass surface. The normal force is known and the friction force is measured. Various lubricants are placed between the two surfaces which greatly influence the friction forces measured.

Chapter 4: Laboratory Data Reduction in the LabData Reduction in the LabThe stress strain response of a typical test are shown at the right as taken from the laboratory equipment. In its raw form, it is not ready to be fit to a hyperelastic material model. It needs to be adjusted.The raw data is adjusted as shown below by taking a stable upload cycle. In doing this, Mullins effect and hysteresis are ignored. This upload cycle then needs to be shifted such that the curve passes through the origin. Remember hyperelastic models must be elastic and have their stress vanish to zero when the strain is zero.This shift changes the apparent gauge length and original cross sectional area.
There is nothing special about using the upload curve, the entire stable cycle can be entered for the curve fit once shifted to zero stress for zero strain. Fitting a single cycle gives an average hyperelastic behavior to the hysteresis in that cycle. Also one may enter more data points in important strain regions than other regions. The curve fit will give a closer fit were there are more points.

1. Slice out the selected loading path.2. Subtract and note the offset strain.3. Divide all strain values by (1 + Offset Strain) to account for the new larger stabilized gage length.4. Multiply all stress values by (1+ Offset Strain) to account for new smaller stabilized cross sectional area.5. The first stress value should be very near zero but shift the stress values this small amount so that zero strain has exactly zero stress.6. Decimate the file by evenly eliminating points so that the total file size is manageable by the particular curve fitting software.Experimental Elastomer Analysis 75

Mooney, Ogden Limitations Chapter 5: Material Test Data FittingMooney, Ogden Limitations
Phenomenological models not material lawThese models are mathematical forms, nothing more
Summary of phenomenological models given byYeoh (1995)
Rivlin and Saunders (1951) have pointed out that the agreement between experimental tensile data and the Mooney-Rivlin equation is somewhat fortuitous. The Mooney-Rivlin model obtained by fitting tensile data is quite inadequate in other modes of deformation, especially compression.
Using only uniaxial tension data is dangerous!
Mooney model in MSC.Marc allows no compressibility

Chapter 5: Material Test Data Fitting Consider All Modes of DeformationConsider All Modes of DeformationThe plot below illustrates the danger in curve fitting only the tensile data, namely the other modes may become too stiff. This is why MSC.Marc Mentat always draws the other modes even when no experimental data is present.
Below, a 3-term Ogden provides a great fit to the tensile data, but spoils the other modes. This can be avoided by looking for a balance between the various deformation modes.98 Experimental Elastomer Analysis

The Three Basic Strain States Chapter 5: Material Test Data FittingThe Three Basic Strain StatesAfter shifting each mode to pass through the origin, the final curves are shown below. Very many elastomeric materials have this basic shape of the three modes, with uniaxial, shear, and biaxial having
increasing stress for the same strain, respectively. Knowledge of this and the actual shape above where say at a strain of 80%, the ratio of equal biaxial to uniaxial stress is about 2 (i.e., 1.3/0.75 = 1.73) will become very important as we fit this data with hyperelastic material models. Furthermore, this fit reduces the 10,000 data points taken from the laboratory to just a few constants.

Chapter 7: Contact Analysis Potential Errors due to Piecewise Linear Description:Potential Errors due to Piecewise Linear Description:
Tying relation may be not completely correct due to the assumption that the normal direction is constant for a complete segment.
If contacting node slides from one segment to another, a discontinuity in the normal direction may occur.
The correction on the position of the contacting node may be not completely correct.
Analytical Deformable Contact Bodies:Replace 2-node linear edges by cubic splines (2D) or 4-node bi-linear patches by bi-cubic Coons surfaces (3D).You must take care of nodes (2D) and edges (3D) where the outer normal vector is discontinuous.
You may wish to use extended precision.
Advantages are smoother contact where in 2D, -continuity is obtained, and in 3D, at least pointwise -continuity is obtained. Analytical deformable contact must be turned on, whereas, rigid bodies default to analytic contact where the curves or surfaces are represented as NURBS during contact.

Release Option Chapter 7: Contact AnalysisRelease OptionThe release option provides the possibility to deactivate a contact body:
upon entering a body to be released, all nodes being in contact with this body will be released. Using the release option e.g., a spring-back effect can be simulated. Releasing nodes occurs at the beginning of an increment. Make sure that the released body moves away to avoid recontacting.
Interference Check / Interference Closure AmountBy means of the interference check, an initial overlap will be removed at the beginning of increment 1.
By means of an interference closure amount, an overlap or a gap between contacting bodies can be defined per increment:
* positive value: overlap
* negative value: gapExperimental Elastomer Analysis 241
