CREATE A MAT_181 WITHOUT STRAIN RATES KEYWORD FOR LS-DYNA

Generates an LS-DYNA MAT_181 (*MAT_SIMPLIFIED_RUBBER/FOAM) keyword block without strain-rate dependency, using a single quasi-static stress–strain curve. Use this worker when authoring rubber or foam material cards that do not require rate-dependent behaviour.

When to use

Classification: data.

Tagged: ", -, 1, 8, A, B, D, E.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Material Name material_name scalar   Alphanumeric label written into the LS-DYNA keyword header (e.g. ‘FOAM_PU_45’); leave null to omit a title comment.
Material ID material_i_d scalar   Integer material ID (MID) assigned to the MAT_181 card; must be unique within the deck.
Curve Id curve_id scalar   Integer load-curve ID (LCID) referencing the quasi-static stress–strain or force–displacement curve already defined in the deck.
Density density scalar   Mass density of the material (ρ) in consistent units (e.g. kg/mm³ or t/mm³); used as the RO field in the keyword.
Bulk Modulus bulk_modulus scalar   Bulk modulus (K) of the rubber/foam in consistent pressure units; controls volumetric stiffness in the MAT_181 card.
Specimen Length specimenlength scalar 1   Gauge length of the physical test specimen (same units as the simulation model); used to normalise displacement to engineering strain. Default is 1 (dimensionless pass-through).
Specimen Width specimenwidth scalar 1   Width of the physical test specimen; used together with thickness to compute cross-sectional area for stress normalisation. Default is 1.
Specimen Thickness specimenthickness scalar 1   Thickness of the physical test specimen; combined with width to derive cross-sectional area for stress normalisation. Default is 1.
Compression Tension Curve compression_tension_curve vector   Compression Tension Curve <a class=’btn btn-xs btn-default’ target=’_blank’ href=’https://www.d3view.com/docs/master/workflows/Glossary.html#curveinput’> <i class=’fa fa-external-link’> </i> View more </a>
Poissons Ratio poissons_ratio scalar 0.495    
Failure Parameter K failureparameter_k scalar    
Failure Parameter Gamma1 failureparameter_gamma1 scalar    
Failure Parameter Gamma2 failureparameter_gamma2 scalar    
HU h_u scalar    
Shape shape scalar    
Number Of Dig Points numberof_dig_points scalar 100   Number of Dig Points
