Isotropic Elastic and Plastic Deformation in Parallel Rheological Framework Models

Abstract

This paper deals with the calibration of the polymer material PPC3TF2 using the PRF (Parallel Rheological Framework) material model implemented in the commercial software Abaqus. In order to reduce computational time, the unit cube model was used for the simulations. The coefficients initially calculated in Excel were used as input values to create the material model. For the most accurate results, the coefficients were optimized in Isight software.
