Hello.

 

I study solid mechanics at a graduate school.

 

I tried to derive tangent modulus of the Mooney-Rivlin based Neo-Hookean material.

 

There might be no error in my derivation, but answer is wrong with referred right answer.

 

So, could you check my derivation?

 

I attached my derivation as a figure.

Yeoh Model Parameter

Greetings,

I'm conducting a simple shear test (single lap joint) between aluminum bonded with 3M adhesive. 
Adhesive material is 3M VHB 4930 adhesive (acrylic)

Result obtains = 
Load vs Displacement Curve
True Stress vs Stretch Ratio

From the literature, mostly they used Yeoh model for 3M adhesive (Modeling and simulation of dielectric elastomer actuators,M.Wissler 2005).

Hello,

I am working on my master's thesis. I have to find best fitting hyperelastic material model for simple shear test.

My task is to find most proper material model which will fit my laboratory test data. I have conducted the "single lap test" on bricks, using polymer PS.

is it possible because of Mullin's effect?

Hello,

I am working on testing of rubber couplings. I have a problem, that while doing torsional test of the coupling, we are getting different values of stiffness with change in time. Even if we do the testing and then take a small break of 10-20 minutes, then also after 20 minutes I am getting different values.

My question is, that is it possible because of Mullin effect? If so, How can we check that the rubber couplings that I have are filled or not( one piece rubber or filler with some other elastomer)?
