This course provides a brief overview of finite deformations and the material models used for rubber and resilient foam. Objectives Upon completion of this course you will be able to: - Use experimental test data to calculate material constants - Check the stability of the Abaqus material model at extreme strains - Obtain the best possible material constants from the available test data - Select elements for modeling rubber and foams - Design an appropriate finite element mesh - Model viscoelastic behavior in both the time and frequency domain - Use a user subroutine to define the hyperelastic behavior
