Simulation of non-linear thin material in IDEAS for defects

Hello everybody,

I would like to know what are all the factors effecting the resonance frequency of a structure(non-linear material in particular).

I am using the following properties to define the material in IDEAS , which is paper for food packing purposes.

Youngs modulus - 2755 mpa
bulk modulus - 1059 mpa
poissons ratio - 0.3
mass density - 684 kg/m^3

Unfoutunately i get all the resonance peaks less than zero when i derive the FRF for the structure, which does not correlate with the experimental results.

what else do i need to define for the material to get the correct frequency peaks? Is it damping or stifness or what?

Thanks in advance
Mirza

Recommended for you

are your parts manifold or non-manifold
ideas needs a solid to give weight mass ect.
no free edges or open surfaces.

Hello,

My part is a paper clamped at both the ends.
I think that would make it manifold.
I did create a very thin solid and given the mass density but not the weight.

How do i make sure about no free egdes or open spaces.

Thanks

Mirza
