Webinar – Modelling Rubber (Hyperelastics) with Abaqus

– For prospects in Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg –

Elastomers play a crucial role in our daily lives, from work and home environments to transportation in automobiles, trains, and aircraft. The tire industry, in particular, depends heavily on rubber. There are two main types of rubber: natural rubber, sourced from rubber trees, and synthetic rubber, derived from petrochemicals.
Despite their ubiquity, accurately modeling elastomers with finite element analysis (FEA) can be surprisingly challenging. In this webinar, we will explore the complexities of elastomeric materials and demonstrate how Abaqus can be utilized to numerically predict the structural behavior of these components. Join us to gain insights into advanced modeling techniques and enhance your simulation accuracy.

Modeling elastomers with Finite Element Analysis

In this webinar, we will introduce the concept of hyperelasticity and demonstrate how this behavior can be effectively modeled using Abaqus, a leading nonlinear finite element analysis solution. We will review various hyperelastic models available in Abaqus and explore the material calibration tool, which assists in selecting the most suitable hyperelastic material model and determining material properties that best fit your test data. Join us to learn how to accurately simulate hyperelastic materials and enhance your analysis capabilities.
