Common Properties: Rubber

Description

Rubber material properties commonly found in plate and brick property sets.

Properties

Rubber Model

• Neo-Hookean

  One parameter material model.

• Mooney-Rivlin (2)

  Two parameter material model.

• Mooney-Rivlin (9)

  Nine parameter material model.

• Ogden

  Six parameter material model.

Coefficients

Coefficients used to specify the rubber material model.

The number of coefficients required depends on the selected material model.

Units are Pressure (e.g., MPa, psi) except for the Ogden α1/α2/α3 parameters, which are dimensionless.

Bulk Modulus

Bulk modulus of the material, which relates volumetric strain to applied uniform pressure.

Units are Pressure (e.g., MPa, psi).
