Non-Linear Static Analysis (Viscoelasticity)

Non-Linear Static Analysis (Viscoelasticity)

This analysis uses the data of tutorial/07_viscoelastic_cylinder.

Analysis target

The object of analysis is the same round-bar 1/8 model as the Non-Linear Static Analysis (Hyperelasticity, Part 1).

Analysis content

A stress relaxation analysis is performed by applying axial tensile displacement to a round bar. The analysis control data is shown below.

Analysis procedure

Execute the FrontISTR execution command fistr1.

$ cd FrontISTR/tutorial/07_viscoelastic_cylinder
$ fistr1 -t 4
(Runs in 4 threads.)

Analysis results

The deformation diagram with the Mises stress contours added is created by REVOCAP_PrePost and shown in Figure 4.7.1. The analysis results after 2 seconds (10th step). A part of the log file is shown below as numerical data of the analysis results.
