finite strain

Finite strains explain the non-monotonic change of contact area in soft rubber contacts loaded in torsion?

In unidirectional sliding of rubber contacts on smooth hard surface it has been found that contact shrinks largely in longitudinal directions, and generally much less in the transverse direction, and two explanations have been suggested to explain this: one is the effect of mixed mode fracture mechanics in the presence of adhesion (with mode II reducing adhesion and mode III less clear), and another uniquely based on finite strain effects even for a simple material model as neo-Hookean hyperelastic material.

Curvature tunes wrinkling in shells

Transverse wrinkles usually emerge in a uniaxially stretched elastic film and can be suppressed upon further tension, which is an instability-restabilization behavior due to the nonlinear competition between stretching energy and bending energy. Here, we show that curvature can effectively and precisely tune the wrinkling localization and amplitude.

Abaqus UMAT implementation

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi,

I have a thermo-mechanical constitutive model for polymer and want to implement it in ABAQUS through two user subroutines namely UMAT and UEXPAN but I dont know how to use them together. Also, in UEXPAN, I need to pass in the strain tensor as information but I dont see 'STRAN' variable in the list of variables passed in to UEXPAN in Abaqus documentation. Does anyone know answer to this?

Thanks,

Mandar
