Mechanical Hysteresis

Hi all,

I tried searching but couldn’t find much.

I am modelling a thin metallic diaphragm deflected under a pressure load. I would like to look at the effect of including a "mechanical hysteresis" effect i.e. different loading and unloading curves.

Ideally this would be through anelasticity in the material leading to a time-independent hysteresis effect.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how this can be achieved?

Obviosuly I can not use a linear elastic model, but I am not sure that the visco elastic model is suitable either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,

I saw your post and I am interested to know if you found a solution to modelling hysteresis.

I am trying to modelling the effect of bowing on hysteresis for a thin silica diaphragm .

Hi Alexis,

You can model hysteresis using material models like the one described in this presentation I gave in the COMSOL conference last year:

www.comsol.com/paper/download/257801/elabbasi_presentation.pdf

The PolyUMod library that has these material models works with COMSOL Multiphysics via the External Material functionality.

Hi Nagi,

I recently saw the video on modeling polymeric materials by Jorgen at your company: (www.comsol.com/video/modeling-nonlinear-materials-comsol-multiphysics)

I'm in the middle of defining my own external materials (magnetostrive, not polymeric), and I was curious how you developed the Interface Type: Lagrangian Interface to PolyUMod. I can't seem to find any documents to specify how to create your own interface, any advice you can provide would be extremely helpful.

Thanks
