Shape Memory Polymer on Abaqus

Submitted by drestr21 on

Hello all



I am trying to create an easy model to simulate Shape Memory polymers on abaqus. I don't need an elaborated UMAT. Just some ideas to model an approximate behavior of the SMP.



 Has anybody have any idea?



Thanks in advance.

Fild variable may suitable to you.

Maybe UMAT will expand your research and i am trying to write UMAT by myself.

if you are willing, please send email to me.

Hello

you can find a UMAT code for a shape memory polymer in this thesis, available on the Internet:

Hi Eric,

 

I am also trying to use the subroutine. I am not sure about the material constants required.

Do you have any thoughts on them

 

thanks
