orthotropic nonlinear viscoelasticity/creep in Ansys

Submitted by André on Tue, 05/03/2011 - 07:51

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any chance to simulate orthotropic nonlinear viscoelasticity/creep of CFRP in ANSYS (e.g. by means of user programmable features (UMAT subroutines) or using the software DIGIMAT or others)? For the nonlinear part I would like to use Schapery's method.

Many thanks for yor help!

-André
