4.5 Tangent Stiffness Matrix at Zero Deformation

Back

The tangent stiffness matrix at zero deformation can be obtained by substituting F = I in

the expression for _KLMN. The expressions in the previous section take the form

I1 = 3 = I 1 (4.233)

I2 = 3 = I 2 (4.234)

I3 = 1 (4.235)

λ1 = λ2 = λ3 = λ1 = λ2 = λ3 = 1. (4.236)

The derivatives of the invariants take the value

Comparison with Equation (1.436) reveals that, in the initial configuration, an equivalent λ

and μ can be defined as the coefficient of the terms GKLGMN and GKMGLN + GKNGLM

respectively.

4.5.1 Polynomial form

Substitution of the above expressions into Equation (4.123) yields

_KLMN =       43

(B10 + B01) + 2

D1

 

GKLGMN + 2(B10 + B01)(GKMGLN + GKNGLM).

(4.255)

Hence,

λeq = 43

(B10 + B01) + 2

D1

(4.256)

μeq = 2(B10 + B01). (4.257)

Frequently, an equivalent bulk modulus Keq is defined, satisfying (cf Equation (1.454))

Keq = λeq + 23

μeq. (4.258)

Hence,

Keq = 2

4.5.5 Closure

For the polynomial model, the Arruda–Boyce model and the Ogden model, the equivalent

bulk modulus is related to the coefficient D1 (polynomial model, Ogden model) or D

(Arruda–Boyce model). Incompressible behavior corresponds to D1 = D = 0. To avoid

the resulting singularities in the material law, the CalculiXcode (CalculiX 2003) replaces

this behavior by a nearly incompressible behavior corresponding to an equivalent Poisson

coefficient μeq = 0.475 at zero deformation. One finds (Equation (1.455)),

Keq =

2μeq(1 + νeq)

3(1 2νeq)

. (4.270)

Accordingly, for a polynomial material,

D1 =

3(1 2νeq)

μeq(1 + νeq)

= 0.1017

μeq

. (4.271)

If N >1 in the polynomial model, the following numerical relationship (disregarding the

dimensions) is proposed:

Di =      3(1 2νeq)

μeq(1 + νeq)

= _0.1017
