We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hoe to model a material with Modulus vs Strain data for two points?

      One might be able to approximate this material behavior with a simple 2 term hyperelastic yeoh material model. With two data points, one could use the formula on slide 29 of attached training material to convert young’s modulus to shear modulus (mu), assuming Poisson’s ratio =0.50. The Cio coefficients are related to shear modulus via equation on slide 10. It is best to get a full compliment of test data in tension, shear and compression to fully characterize the material.
