    A. Mullins Effect

    Mullins effect is a stretch softening phenomenon observed in elastomeric materials undergoing cyclic loading.

    When an elastomer is loaded in simple tension from its virgin state, unloaded and then reloaded, the stress required on reloading is less then that on the initial loading for stretches up to the maximum stretch achieved on the initial loading.

    During reloading, as the reloading strain approaches the maximum strain seen in its prior strain history, the stress-strain behavior begins to stiffen and rejoin the reference virgin curve; upon reaching the reference virgin curve, the stress-strain behavior follows that of the virgin stress-strain behavior.

  • 2015 ANSYS, Inc. May 27, 2015 4

    Mullins Effect Phenomenon typically observed in compliant filled polymers.

    Characterized by a decrease in material stiffness during loading

    Readily observed during cyclic loading as the material response along the unloading path differs noticeably from the response that along the loading path.

    Although the details about the mechanisms responsible for the Mullins effect have not yet been settled, they might include:

    Debonding of the polymer from the filler particles

    Separation of particle clusters

    Rearrangement of the polymer chains and particles.

    The Ogden Roxburgh pseudo-elastic model of the Mullins effect is a modification of the standard thermodynamic formulation for hyperelastic* materials and is given by:

    Where:

    is the virgin strain energy potential without Mullins effect

    is an evolving scalar damage variable

    is the damage function

    * The virgin material is modeled using one of the available hyperelastic potentials, and the Mullins effect modifications to the constitutive response are proportional to the maximum load in the material history.

    B. Anisotropic Hyperelasticity

    Anisotropic Hyperelasticity can be used to model materials that exhibit direction-dependent large elastic strains, such as biomaterials or reinforced elastomer composites.

    One way to view anisotropic hyperelasticity is that there may be fibers (or reinforcements) in an elastomer-like matrix.

    Up to two preferred fiber directions A and B, with corresponding material parameters, can be specified.

    Anisotropic Hyperelasticity

    Recall that there are several isotropic hyperelastic constitutive models available in ANSYS. Many of these (e.g., Mooney-Rivlin, Yeoh, Arruda-Boyce, Gent, Blatz-Ko) are based on the first three strain invariants, as shown on the left

    The Cauchy-Green tensor C is used here, although the invariants can also be expressed as a function of the principal stretch ratios li.

    The second strain invariant is neglected in some hyperelastic strain energy functions, such as Arruda-Boyce, Gent, and Yeoh

    The third strain invariant provides a measure of the volume change J of the element. If the material is fully incompressible, I3=J

    2=1.

    Anisotropic Hyperelasticity

    Two material directions (vectors A and B) in the undeformed configuration characterize the anisotropy of the material.

    In order to represent anisotropic behavior, an additional six strain invariants are required I4-I9.

    Anisotropic Hyperelasticity

    In the case of fibers in a matrix that produce anisotropy in two directions A and B, one can ascribe some meaning to the various strain invariants:

    The first two strain invariants describe the behavior of the matrix material

    The third strain invariant is related to the degree of incompressibility of the material

    The fourth and sixth strain invariants represent the fiber characteristics

    The fifth and seventh strain invariants are associated with fiber-matrix interactions

    The eighth strain invariant can be thought of as being related to fiber-fiber interaction

    The strain energy density function for anisotropic hyperelasticity can be decomposed into two parts deviatoric Wd and volumetric Wv. Moreover, the deviatoric term can be separated into both isotropic and anisotropic parts:

    The volumetric term Wv is a familiar equation arising in other nearly-/fully-incompressible strain energy density functions and is a function of J (third strain invariant) only:

    Viscoelastic behavior is assumed to be isotropic

    The volumetric term Wv is a familiar equation arising in other nearly-/fully-incompressible strain energy density functions and is a function of J (third strain invariant) only

    The material compressibility parameter d is input via:

    Note: The first two terms of the expressions on previous slide represent the deviatoric component related to isotropic behavior Wd,iso This is very similar to the general polynomial form without cij cross-terms:

    The six constants ai and bi are via TB,AHYPER,,,POLY or TB,AHYPER,,,EXPO and TBDATA,1,a1,a2,a3,b1,b2,b3

    If bi=0, the isotropic term becomes the 3rd order Yeoh model. If only a1 is present, it is like the neo-Hookean model.

    The material anisotropy is defined with these two vectors A and B, not with the element coordinate system ESYS

    Vectors A and B can have arbitrary directions and need not be orthogonal

    The magnitude of the vectors |A| and |B| will be scaled internally to be equal to 1.

    For the case when the hyperelastic material is orthotropic: Constants go are not required because I8=I9=0

    If the hyperelastic material is transversely isotropic: Constants em, fn, and go are not required because I6=I7=I8=I9=0

    Constants (BX, BY, BZ) are not required

    The anisotropic hyperelastic constants may also be temperature-dependent

    C. Bergstrom-Boyce Hyperelasticity When rubber material is compressed for extended period of time, sometimes it loses its ability to return to its undeformed state. This loss of elasticity may reduce the efficiency of an elastomeric gasket, seal or cushioning pad to perform over its operating life. The resulting permanent set that a gasket/seals may cause a leak or reduce cushioning effect of a pad.

    Bergstrom-Boyce material model can be used for predicting permanent set. The time dependent material properties (C5, C7,C8) of BB model can be adjusted such that the viscoelastic strains can be treated as Pseudo plastic strains.

    ... Bergstrom-Boyce Hyperelasticity

    The Bergstrom-Boyce material model is a phenomenological-based, highly nonlinear material model used to model typical elastomers and biological materials.

    It allows for a nonlinear stress-strain relationship, creep, and rate-dependence.

    It assumes an inelastic response only for shear distortional behavior. The response for volumetric is still purely elastic

    The model is based on a spring (A) in parallel with a spring and damper (B) in series.

    All components (springs and damper) are highly nonlinear.

    Bergstrom-Boyce Hyperelasticity

  • 2015 ANSYS, Inc. May 27, 2015 26

    The stress in the viscoelastic component of the material (B) is a function of the deformation and the rate of deformation.

    - Of the total deformation in B, a portion takes place in the elastic component while the rest of the deformation takes place in the viscous component.

    - Because the stress in the elastic portion is equal to the stress plastic portion, the total stress can be written merely as a function of the elastic deformation

    - All variables in this equation are analogous to the variables for s A

    The stress tensor from component B is added to the stress tensor from component A to find the total stress

    Permanent set in Elastomers General Tips:

    1.Smaller the value of C5, the more significant is the hysteresis and hence higher the Pseudo plastic strains.

    2.As the value of C6 increases, the amount of hysteresis decreases and hence less Pseudo plastic strains.

    3.As the value of C7 increases, hysteresis also increases and thus high Pseudo plastic strains.

    D. Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Shape memory alloy (SMA) "remembers" its original, cold-forged shape, returning to the pre-deformed shape when heated.

    - Can undergo large deformation without showing residual strains .

    It has many applications in industries including medical and aerospace.

    Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium alloy) is a type of shape memory alloy (SMA) used in eyeglass frames, antennas, couplings, actuators, medical retrieval devices and inserts

    www.jmmedical.com

  • 2015 ANSYS, Inc. May 27, 2015 35

    Two phases, austenite and martensite, are present in Nitinol:

    Austenite is usually stable at low stress values and high temperatures

    Martensite is generally stable at high stress values and low temperatures

    Martensite plates are formed within the austenite phase. The formation of these martensite plates generally do not involve dislocation motion or diffusional flow

    Consider the case of an elevated temperature where only austenite exists at the stress-free state. If a material is loaded, the higher stress induces a phase change to

    martensite (path ABC). Unloading will result in a reverse transformation from

    martensite back to austenite with hysteresis (path CDA). This is the superelastic effect.

    Accounts for austenite to martensite (AS) and martensite to austenite (SA) phase transformations.

    Isotropic, rate-independent, and without inelastic strains.

    The elastic modulus, Poissons ratio, and coefficient of thermal expansion are assumed to be the same for the fully transformed austenite and martensite phases.

    The SMA Superelasticity material model keeps track of the

    fraction of austenite xA and martensite xS present.

    The sum should equal 1 (i.e., 100%)

    Superscripts AS designate the austenite-to-martensite

    transformation (and SA the reverse), the fraction rates can be

    expressed as:

    The first two equations reflect that fraction rate of one phase is based on the fraction rate during either transformation process

    (SA or AS).

    Remaining equations indicate that a fraction rate of one phase must equal the other.

    Although the transformation is assumed to be fully recoverable, the SMA

    superelasticity equations are developed similar to plasticity models

    The transformation strains are considered separately, analogous to how inelastic strains are considered in plasticity.

    The transformation function is defined as follows:

    where q is the deviatoric stress, p is the hydrostatic pressure, and a is

    a material parameter.

    This transformation function is used for both transformation processes (SA or AS), so no superscript will be used.

    The unloading response is similar:

    At 100% martensite, the transformation starts when the stress goes below sSAs.

    The transformation back to 100% austenite is complete at sSAf.

    All strains are recovered for this isothermal process.

    The material parameter eL describes the maximum amount of transformation strain.

    For Nitinol, this is typically between 0.07 and 0.10 (7-10%).

    The material parameter a discussed earlier affects the material response in tension and compression.

    If tensile and compressive behaviors are the same, a=0.

    For Nitinol, this is usually taken to be around 0-0.1.

    As noted earlier, this input describes the mechanical behavior of the austenite and

    martensite phases

    The SMA parameters can then be input

    The first four constants describe the starting and final stress values of transformation

    The epsilon value is the maximum transformation strain

    The alpha value affects the compressibility of transformation strain (i.e., degree of which transformation strains are dependent on hydrostatic pressure)

    This parameter also produces different response in tension and compression

    Numerous experimental tests show an asymmetric behavior of SMA in

    tension and compression, and suggest describing SMA as an isotropic

    material with a Prager-Lode-type limit surface.

    Accordingly, the following yield criteria is assumed:

    Where J2 and J3 are the second and third invariants of transformation

    stress, m is a material parameter and R is the elastic domain radius.

    The elastic stiffness tensor is a function of the transformation strain

    defined as:

    Where: DA is the elastic stiffness tensor of Austenite phase

    DS is elastic stiffness of Martinsite phase

    When the material is in its austenite phase, D = DA

    When the material undergoes full transformation (martensite phase), D = DS.

    The shape memory effect option is defined by seven constants that

    establish the stress-strain behavior of material in loading and unloading

    cycles for the uniaxial stress-state and thermal loading.

    SMA cannot be combined with other materials for the same material.
