ViscoData To Marc

1) The document discusses ViscoData software, which analyzes viscoelastic properties of materials from experimental data. 2) ViscoData can generate master curves from time or frequency domain experiments and determine discrete relaxation time constants. 3) The software makes it easy for engineers to obtain parameters needed for finite element analysis of polymers and elastomers, by fitting experimental data to a Prony series model.

ViscoData : An Introduction
The ViscoData software is a rapid user-friendly method to analyze data from frequency sweep or relaxation experiments to determine viscoelastic properties of engineering materials ViscoData has been specifically developed for material developers and CAE-experts working in the field of soft materials like polymers (plastics and elastomers) needing a rapid and comprehensive evaluation procedure. Master-curves of stiffness or compliance measurements in either time or frequency domain can be generated by the so-called preprocessor ViscoShift, an auxiliary software delivering appropriate data to be further evaluated by the main software, ViscoData. ViscoData is able to determine a discrete line spectra of relaxation time constants from master curves developed either from time domain experiments or frequency domain experiments. For example in the rubber industry often one needs informations about the peculiar viscoelastic properties to estimate the suitability of a given compound for a certain application. In the plastics industry, dynamic mechanical data is used for understanding the complex behavior of polymers over a wide range of frequencies/times. The ViscoData software allows users to rapidly evaluate the data and to develop the interrelationship with ease. CAE-experts often need constitutive parameters to be able to perform complex Finite-Element Analysis of components made out of elastomers or plastics. The shifted master curves (done by ViscoShift) are fitted (done by ViscoData) using a novel algorithm, derived from so-called Evolutionary-Strategy concepts. This is accompanied by numerical analysis calculating the discrete relaxation and retardation spectra. The user has the choice to change the number of relaxation modes used in the analysis (Maxwell-Elements) when the fitness is not sufficient. A maximum of 40 relaxation modes can be calculated for the data sets. This program has been developed as a general tool for performing visco-elastic analysis of a wide variety of materials that behave according to linear visco-elastic theory. An appropriate manual provides a functional explanation of the programs working and does not fully explain the background research. Reference sources are given on which this software is based upon.

... the benefits of ViscoData
The greatest value of the software system presented with this is a quick and liable determination of the parameters of a discrete relaxation spectra of rubbers and plastics (called a Prony-series). Although the method used are generally restricted to non-cristalline polymers, applications to cristalline materials is possible within restricted temperature domains. Last but not least it is needless to say that the concept of a Prony series is also applicable to other than polymer materials. For example metals, ceramics, glasses etc. are also candidates for the proposed concept, because they are as well visco-elastic materials in nature. For those materials usually the relaxation spectra is narrower (only few relaxation time constants are needed to represent the viscoelastic behavior of those materials ) compared with elastomers. But never the less visco-elastic properties may be also important, especially under higher temperatures.

What are the benefits??? What are the benefits???

... For MSC.Marc Users it is now very easy to make use of the Viscoelastic option in MARC, because ViscoData provides directly the data needed for that material modelling options in MARC. On the following slides you may get an impression how easy it is done. the only thing you need is ViscoData, which provides you with all the required parameters. Of course you have your materials raw-data for example from a Stress-Relaxation Experiment (SRE) or from a Dynamical Mechanical Analysis (DMA) .Using those data in ViscoData you will be able in less than 10 minutes to continue your analysis with MARC having the right constitutive parameters without any further trouble.
