Analysis content

In this stress analysis, the displacement of the constrained surface shown in Fig. 4.4.1 is restrained, and the displacement is given to the forced surface. The Arruda–Boyce model was used in the material constitutive equation of hyperelasticity. The analysis control data are presented below.
