[Axel_FinalLogoRed.gif] [shim.gif] Testing and Analysis of Elastomers,
August 19-21

   Combining Test Lab and Computer Lab to Understand Elastomer Material
   Modeling

   Objective:
   This is a hands-on workshop covering material testing, material
   modeling and finite element analysis of elastomers. Instructors from
   ABAQUS and Axel Products, Inc. present an integrated testing and
   analysis workshop featuring the experimental facilities of Axel
   Products, Inc. and the ABAQUS software. Attendees perform elastomer
   experiments using laboratory instruments to create data appropriate
   for use in building elastomer material models in FEA. Material models
   are then developed and examined on workstations running ABAQUS.

   Characterizing a particular rubber compound for use with FEA can be
   quite challenging because of the complexity of rubber behavior. This
   course will tie together issues of how to test the material, under
   what conditions, what loadings, what pre-conditioning, and how to use
   this test data to derive a reliable, robust FEA material model for the
   elastomer.
     * In the Axel Products Test Lab, students will perform the tests -
       uniaxial, biaxial tension, planar tension, stress relaxation
     * In the Computer Lab, students will perform computer curve fitting
       to derive hyperelastic material models
     * Learn how to gather the best test data
     * Obtain the best possible material constants from the available
       test data
     * Model viscoelastic behavior - in the time domain and frequency
       domain.
     * Discuss rubber contact issues through case studies
     * Open Forum time to allow testing of your own material
