simulation with nonlinear structural materials
DESCRIPTION
When the stress in a structure becomes sufficiently large, many materials display nonlinear behavior. Some materials may exhibit a nonlinear stress-strain response even at very low stress. Material models including elastoplastic, viscoplastic, creep, and hyperelastic require expressions more sophisticated than the linear Hooke’s law. This webinar presented applications of nonlinear materials modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics and demonstrated how user-defined materials can be incorporated into a simulation. The webinar concluded with a 15-minute Q&A session. Watch the webinar to learn: • which nonlinear material models are predefined in COMSOL • how to simulate nonlinear material behavior • how to combine different sources of material nonlinearity Speaker: Mateusz Stec, Technical Product Manager, Fatigue, COMSOL Bio: Mateusz works as the Technical Product Manager for the Fatigue Module. He studied Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan and Vehicle Engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology. In 2008, he completed his PhD in Solid Mechanics at the Royal Institute of Technology. Before joining COMSOL, he worked at SKF’s European Research Centre as a researcher and project leader.TRANSCRIPT

Why Do We Simulate Nonlinear Materials?
• Concept and understanding
• Design and op'miza'on
• Tes'ng and verifica'on
Reinforced concrete
Modeling with COMSOL Mul'physics • Electrical, Mechanical, Fluid, and Chemical Simula'ons • Mul'physics – Coupled phenomena
– Two or more physics phenomena that affect each other with no limita'on on which combina'ons or how many combina'ons
• Single physics – One integrated environment – different physics and applica'ons – One day you work on Heat Transfer, next day Structural Analysis, then
Fluid Flow, etc. – Same workflow for any type of modeling
• Enables cross-‐disciplinary product development and a unified simula'on plaUorm
Enables Technology Design Innova'ons

Geometric Nonlinearity • The response of the majority of the structures can be analysed
under the assump'on of small displacement theory
• In some situa'ons the change in the configura'on cannot be ignored – It is necessary to calculate the equilibrium with respect to the deformed
configura'on
• The classical strain measures (engineering strains) are no longer able to describe large displacements and/or large rota'ons
– New strain measures must be considered (Green-‐Lagrange strains)
Strain Evalua'on Op'on • Small plas'c strains
– Addi've decomposi'on of strains
• Large plas'c strains – Mul'plica've decomposi'on of
deforma'on gradient large
