Abaqus UEL subroutine for hard and soft magnetorheological elastomers

  • 1. LMS, CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, Palaiseau, France

Description

The published code and side files have been used to reproduce the numerical results in the journal article "An explicit dissipative model for isotropic hard magnetorheological elastomers", Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2021. It provides a set of files that involve 

  1. An explanatory file in PDF format that describes the various lines and parameters of the Abaqus input file. 
  2. An Abaqus input file where the relevant material parameters, boundary conditions and output requests are set
  3. A user-element (UEL) Abaqus fortran subroutine that the main model is coded. It serves to describe the coupled magnetomechanical response of hard and soft magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) under finite strains and quasi-incompressible responses.
  4. Three mesh files required by Abaqus to describe the geometry analyzed.  

Notes

This version shows the two-dimensional version of the simulations but its extension to 3D is straightforward and only requires the change of the element.
