A General Strategy
1. Understand the loading conditions of the part
2. Understand the general behavior of the materials involved
3. Select the significant material behaviors
4. Use existing or develop material models to describe the behavior
5. Verify the performance of the material model

Specialized Hyperelastic models:
• Anisotropic Hyperelastic Material • Bergstrom-Boyce Material • Mullins effect • User-Defined Hyperelastic Material
• Material response is isotropic, isothermal, and elastic and is assumed fully or nearly incompressible.
• There are many hyperelastic models available in ANSYS which can cover wide varieties of elastomers used in Industries.

Hyperelastic Models
Curve Fitting feature
• Material curve fitting allows you to derive coefficients from experimental data that you provide for your material.
• With this capability, you compare experimental data versus program-calculated data for different nonlinear models and determine the best material model to use.
• ANSYS provides curve-fitting, based on experimental data, for all of the available hyperelastic models. Any of the hyperelasticity models in ANSYS can be used.

A General Strategy
1. Understand the loading conditions of the part
2. Understand the general behavior of the materials involved
3. Select the significant material behaviors
4. Use existing or develop material models to describe the behavior
5. Verify the performance of the material model

Loading Conditions Some common elastomers exhibit dramatic strain amplitude and
cycling effects at moderate strain levels
Conclusions:
1. Pick one level
2. Use Mullins Model
3. Use BB Model

Bergstrom-Boyce Model
The Bergstrom-Boyce material model is a phenomenological-based, highly nonlinear material model used to model typical elastomers and biological materials.
It allows for a nonlinear stress-strain relationship, creep, and rate-dependence.
It assumes an inelastic response only for shear distortional behavior. The response for volumetric is still purely elastic
The model is based on a spring (A) in parallel with a spring and damper (B) in series.
All components (springs and damper) are highly nonlinear.

The stress state in A can be found in the tensor form of the deformation gradient tensor (F = dxi / dXj) and material parameters, as follows:
