The position is still open for apply.



You will perform research and development work using active/passive vibration control measures to reduce vibration of typical offshore structures. You will also develop new

numerical models, new control algorithm, and optimize the locations of actuator/sensors.

Curve Fitting for Viscoplastic (Anand) Model in ANSYS

Submitted by SaiSudharsanan on

Hello everyone, 

            I would like to know if it is possible to use TBFT option in ANSYS to curve-fit Anand's model parameters using experimental force-displacement data.

     I am aware that the ANSYS manual  has description for hyperelastic and even chaboche model, but is there an established procedure to obtain Anand model parameters using experimental curve fitting ? 

 

Thank you.
