Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods to create a numerical model for rubber-like material including Mullins effect based on test data obtained in a bi-axial tension test of a specimen of a rubber-like material of interest are disclosed. Based on inflating-pressure versus displacement-at-the-pole data, first set of constants of the Mooney-Rivlin constitutive equation used as strain-energy density function are determined in the loading phase. Second set of numerical constants in an unloading-phase damage function are determined. The unloading-phase damage function is used for modifying the strain-energy density function in the unloading phase and contains a hyperbolic tangent function with dimensionless operands that include a peak strain energy value occurred immediately before the unloading phase. Third set of constants in a subsequent reloading-phase damage function are determined. The subsequent reloading-phase damage function is used for modifying the strain-energy density function in the reloading phase.
