Dear Fatih,

 

I think you should read about how to do a creep analysis. If you apply a
creep type law (There are different models depending on the creep mechanism,
Norton , time hardening, strain hardening…) for your material under
prescribed strain conditions you will see that elastic strain will transform
into creep strain and this way the stress (dependent on the elastic strain)
will decrease.

 

I remember that you ought to use *Visco kind of analysis.

I cannot remember if there are examples, please check the documentation.

 

Kind regards,

 

Alberto

Asunto: [Abaqus] stress relaxation problem...

 






hello group,

I need to take idea of you about a problem.

I want to make a stress relaxation analysis of PA6. Let's say a polymer rod
is pretensioned by applyling a strain. And then, I want to calculate the
time required for the stress to come below a certain limit under this
constant strain.

What kind of analysis should I carry? A general static step to apply the
pretension and then what? a visco analysis? What kind of material behaviour
should I use for such a problem? What are the outputs in Abaqus I should
check? Is there a smiler problem in Abaqus documentation?

Thank you very much for your taking the time.
