This note presents a model suitable for the mechanical characterization of isotropic materials with different behavior in tension and compression. The model has been derived from the nonlinear elastic theory and elaborated to adapt it to the small deformation field; the constitutive relation may reliably correlate stress and strain fields even in three-dimensional elastic problems.

Abstract This paper is to present a method and procedure for modeling the constitutive law of anti-vibration rubber hyperelasticity based on finite element simulations. The hyperelasticity of rubber-like material is briefly summarized first. Then a method and procedure for determining an accurate constitutive law of rubber hyperelasticity from uniaxial tension and compression experiment data is presented and implemented. Due to nonlinear elastic properties of rubber and application limitations of various forms of constitutive law, results of finite element simulation to rubber material experiments show that different forms of constitutive law have to be adopted in different ranges of strain. The proposed procedure to obtain an appropriate constitutive law of rubber hyperelasticity of vibration isolator provides engineers with an effective modeling technique for design and analysis of anti-vibration rubber components. Finally, models of three kinds of rubber materials of a hydraulically damped rubber mount (HDM) are determined by tests and finite element simulations and applied to static and dynamic characteristic analysis of the HDM. The predicted elastic characteristics of the HDM and its major rubber components agree well with experimental data, which demonstrates the practicability and effectiveness of the presented modeling technique to modeling engineering rubber materials in dynamic systems.

Nonlinear elastic model and elastoplastic model are two main kinds of constitutive models of soil, which are widely used in the numerical analyses of soil structure. In this study, Duncan and Chang's EB model and the generalized plasticity model proposed by Pastor, Zienkiewicz, and Chan was discussed and applied to describe the stress-strain relationship of rockfill materials. The two models were validated using the results of triaxial shear tests under different confining pressures. The comparisons between the fittings of models and test data showed that the modified generalized plasticity model is capable of simulating the mechanical behaviours of rockfill materials. The modified generalized plasticity model was implemented into a finite element code to carry out static analyses of a high earth-rockfill dam in China. Nonlinear elastic analyses were also performed with Duncan and Chang's EB model in the same program framework. The comparisons of FEM results andin situmonitoring data showed that the modified PZ-III model can give a better description of deformation of the earth-rockfill dam than Duncan and Chang’s EB model.

Quasi Static Compression

A fractional derivative model of dissipative effects is combined with a nonlinear elastic model to model the response of polyurethane foam in quasi-static compression tests. A system identification method is developed based on a separation of the elastic and viscoelastic parts of the response, which is possible because of symmetries in the imposed deformation timehistory. Simulations are used to evaluate the proposed identification method when noise is present in the response. The system identification technique is also applied with some success to experimental data taken from several compression experiments on two types of polyurethane foam blocks.

Intact Loess

Duncan-Chang nonlinear model has been modified and applied to the structural loess calculation. Based on structural studies and conventional triaxial tests, this paper has analyzed the mechanical properties of intact loess and the relationship between the stress ratio structural parameters and the strain, then the expression of generalized shear strain and stress ratio structural parameters are given to facilitate the engineering applications. On this basis, the stress-strain curve of intact loess was corrected by the use of the stress ratio structural parameters. The form of the intact loess stress-strain curves which have been revised has changed hardening from the softening or weak softening. The results show that the modified stress-strain curves of intact loess can apply Duncan- Chang nonlinear model to calculate and the model parameters are reasonable and effective. This method provides Duncan-Chang nonlinear model which is widely used in engineering with a new ways and means in intact structural loess application.
