Hello,
I am trying to model the deflection of a rubber "membrane". The "membrane" is 250 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in thickness; it is meshed with C3D6H elements and is modeled as an incompressible, neo-Hookean material with C10 = 0.17 MPa. The material is deformed 127 mm via...
I am attempting to model an ellipsoid shell with hyperelastic material properties--one side of the ellipsoid is tied to a rigid sphere that is held stationary while the other side is tied to a rigid sphere that is pulled with a specific concentrated force. However, during deformation, the top...
