Testing and Analysis of Elastomers for Users of ANSYS

Introduction

Price: $2500.00 US

This training course is available to ANSYS users. ANSYS, Inc. (www.ansys.com) teams with Axel Product, Inc. (www.axelproducts.com) to offer this course that covers material testing, material modeling and finite element analysis of elastomers. 

This workshop is held at the Axel Products facility in Ann Arbor, MI; for directions, please click here.

Workshop Outline

Basics of Hyperelasticity

Mechanics of Elastomers
Hyperelastic Material Models
Curve Fitting Laboratory Data
Example Procedures in ANSYS

Perform Appropriate Laboratory Experiments:

Simple Tension
Pure Shear
Biaxial Extension
Volumetric Compression
Viscoelastic Property Measurements
Friction

Analysis Issues:

Contact
Friction
Correlation of FEA and Experimental Data

Address Questions such as:

How are these tests different than the ASTM tests we already do?
What are the effects of repeated loading?
Why do compression tests create problems for the analyst?


Analysis in the ANSYS Experimental Elastomer Analysis Workshop

Elastomer Experiments to Generate Data appropriate for Finite Element Analysis with ANSYS:
Pure Shear, Biaxial Extension, Simple Tension, Volumetric Compression
