On the Abaqus FEA model of finite viscoelasticity

Soft Condensed Matter 2013-03-11 v1

Abstract

Predictions of the QLV (Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic) constitutive law are compared with those of the ABAQUS viscoelastic model for two simple motions in order to highlight, in particular, their very different dissipation rates and certain shortcomings of the ABAQUS model.
