Samcef Mooney Rivlin material
| The following pages appear when you select Samcef Mooney Rivlin from the Property View list. | |
|---|---|
| Mechanical page | |
| Bulk Modulus (K) | Lets you define the compressibility coefficient.This coefficient can be constant or defined with a temperature dependent field.For more information, see the BULK parameter of the Samcef Mooney-Rivlin material. |
| Distortional Deformation page | |
| Number of Points (NTPS) | Lets you define the number of Samcef Cicoefficients you want to use for the Samcef Mooney-Rivlin law's equation.See the note below about the Distortional Deformation - (Aij) table. |
| Table of coefficients | Define the Ci coefficients of the equation.All the coefficients can be constants or defined with a temperature dependent field. |
| Thermal page | |
| Temperature (TREF) | Lets you define the material Reference Temperature.For more information, see the TREF parameter of the Samcef Mooney-Rivlin material. |
| Thermal Expansion Coefficient (TEXP) | Lets you define the material's CTE.The CTE can be constant or defined with a temperature dependent field.For more information, see the A parameter of the Samcef Mooney-Rivlin material. |
Note:
In the Distortional Deformation - (Aij) table, the Samcef Ci coefficients of the law are defined as:
| Row | Column 1 | Column2 | Column3 | Column4 | Column5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | C2 | C5 | C9 | C14 | |
| 2 | C1 | C4 | C8 | C13 | |
| 3 | C3 | C7 | C12 | ||
| 4 | C6 | C11 | |||
| 5 | C10 |
