*HYPERELASTIC data for NBR

1

Good morning,

I would like to properly model a rubber (NBR) element in my FE analysis. I would use an *HYPERELASTIC material, using one of the avaliable models in ccx. Unfortunately, I do not manage to find a good set of numbers to feed the material model for, e.g., an NBR 60 shoreA. I do not need a very accurate constitutive model; the expected maximum deformation is indeed small and the aim of this activity is mainly to compare different geometries and material hardnesses.

Do you know if there is a repository or papers or websites where I can find such information?

Thank you in advance

Best

Just Google it: nitrile butadiene rubber 60 shore A Mooney Rivlin.

Plenty of information about NBR like:

Thank you for the paper. I am going to read it!

In such cases, it’s best to use simpler hyperelastic models. As usually, Researchgate comes to the help: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Estimated-hyperelastic-coefficients-of-shore-75-A-natural-rubber_tbl1_319214496
