Static Analysis of Viscoelastic Reinforced Thick-Walled Cylinder

Article Preview

Abstract:

The numerical simulation of the static response of viscoelastic materials with the finite element method is presented in this paper. In particular, elastomeric solids which are of essential engineering interest are discussed. A rubbery elastic manner is assumed to be modeled with an Ogden-type strain energy function. A Prony series represents the relaxation moduli is exploited. By using a general finite element software ANSYS, numerical examples illustrate relaxation and creeping phenomena.
