Gasket - Strain Material dialog box (Simcenter Samcef Structure)

These options of the Gasket - Strain material only apply for a Simcenter Samcef model.

Mechanical page

Properties
Membrane Material Lets you select a linear elastic material for defining the Young's Modulus (E) and the Poisson's Ratio (NU).For more information, see YT and NT parameters in the Samcef Gasket material page.
Yield Pressure (YPRESS) Lets you define the initial yield pressure. This value must match a point on the specified Loading Curve.For more information, see LITK parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page.
Tensile Modulus (EPL) Lets you define the tensile modulus.For more information, see YD parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page.
Transverse Shear Modulus (GPL Lets you define the transverse shear modulus.For more information, see G parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page.
Initial Gap Lets you define the initial closure strain.For more information, see EPSN parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page.
Specify Loading Curve Field Lets you define the loading curve (pressure vs. closure strain).For more information, see YNLE parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page.
Specify Unloading Curve 1 Field Lets you define the first unloading curve.For more information, see the YC parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page.
Additional Unloading Curves
Specify Unloading Curve 2 Field, Specify Unloading Curve 3 Field, …,Specify Unloading Curve 10 Field Lets you add up to 9 supplementary unloading curves.For more information, see the YC parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page.

Note:

Options of the dialog box other than the ones described here above are ignored by Simcenter Samcef.
