Experimental data

[pepette]

Hi all,

I am trying to make a hyper elastic simulation of a polypropylene shell.
To characterize the mechanical behavior of this material, I make tensile test in two directions (longitudinal/transversal), the measurement are very different.
My question is: if it is possible to create an anisotropic model with this experimental data?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers

Anybody can help me?

Hi,

I think you can't define an anisotropic hyperelastic material. In ANSYS, the hyperelastic material models assume that materials response is isotropic and isothermal.

Regards.
