MULLINS EFFECT

*
MULLINS EFFECT: Specify Mullins ef fect material parameters for elastomers.
This option is used to define material constants for the Mullins effect in filled ru bber elastomers or for
modeling energy dissipation in elastomeric foams. It can be used only with the
*
HYPERELASTIC or the
*
HYPERFOAM options.

Optional, mutually exclusive parameters:
TEST DATA INPUT
Include this param eter if the material constants are to be computed by ABAQUS from data taken
from simple tests on a material specimen. If this parameter is omitted in A BAQUS/Standard, the
material constants may be given directly on the data lines or the dam age variable may be defined
through user subroutine UMULLINS. If this parameter is omitted in ABAQUS/Explicit, the material
constants must be given directly on the data line s.
USER
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.
Include this parameter if the damage variable defining the Mullins effect is defined in user
subroutine UMULLINS.
Optional parameters:
BETA
This parameter can be used only when the TEST DATA INPUT param eter is used; it defines the
value of
while the other coefficients of the Mullins effect model are fitted from the test data. It
