Difference between different material models for Hyperelastic material

Submitted by Prahel on

Hello,

I am doing a project on rubber couplings and it is a bit difficult for me to decide between the material models availavle in Ansys 14. I am new to this field and want some assistance in choosing the material model. So, can anyone help me to theoroticall explain the difference between the different material models available in Ansys?

How to find a response for a pinned-(pinned+ torsion spring) column with sinusoidal axial load?

I am unable to decouple the equations in space and time using variable separable method, with one end pinned-other end pinned with torsion spring as boundary conditions.

Can anyone please help.

Good day.

CABLE BENDING ANALYSIS THOUGH FEA

Submitted by Alain Cardou on

Single strand cable (spiral) bending and OEC (Overhead Electrical Conductor) bending are somewhat similar problems. This is the reason why the following new paper is noteworthy within the context of this blog. It emanates from a Slovak team: S. Kmet, E. Stanova, G. Fedorko, M. Fabian, J. Brodniansky. Title : “Experimental investigation and finite element analysis of a four-layered spiral strand bent over a curved support”. Published in “Engineering Structures”, Vol. 57, December 2013, pp. 475-483.
