Problem DescriptionButyl rubber is a synthetic elastomer that is impermeable to air, and many industries use it for applications where an airtight rubber can be useful. These applications include rubber gloves, sealants, O-rings, and inner tubes. Like many other elastomers, butyl rubber exhibits a stress-strain response that changes as you increase the strain rate. You can calibrate a hyperelastic-viscoelastic material response that mimics this strain rate–dependent behavior. To complete this example, you perform several actions in the app that were not included in the other Material Calibration example, Elastic and Plastic Material Calibration of Aluminum. These actions include:
WorkflowThe workflow diagram below provides an overview of the example. The diagram shows the apps that you use as you perform the steps in sequence. Clicking a number in the diagram opens its corresponding step in the example.
Complete the workflow steps in the order listed. Deviation from the instructions associated with each step might cause errors that prevent a successful material calibration. |
