Hi there, as part of my university project, I am doing the hyperelastic analysis of an F1 Tyre. In order to model the behavior of the material, I require Uniaxial, Biaxial & Shear Test data to input into Workbench. Unfortunately, I am unable to find sample data which I can use for this.

Can anyone please provide some sample experimental data for either Natural Rubber or Butyl Rubber which can be used to curve fit & model the hyperelastic behavior of the material. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

You might find something in engineering data (under engineering data sources, and hyperelastic, Neoprene rubber).

Also GRANTA MDS (e.g., it has Mooney-Rivlin 2 Param. Natural Rubber) or Selector might have some additional materials that are relevant.

All the best

Unfortunately, I don't have Granta MDS, I filled in a request to ANSYS for Granta and they gave me a temporary license to Granta Selector. Unfortunately, Selector only had linear elastic properties for Natural Rubber & Butyl Rubber, no hyperelastic test data or Constitutive Model Parameters. 

If you could provide me Hyperelastic Model Parameters or Test Data on this post, that would help.

Thanks
