Numerical Implementation of a Nonlinearly Viscoelastic Constitutive Theory in a Finite Element Code Used in the Industry

This project consists in implementing into a commercially available finite element package a nonlinearly viscoelastic constitutive theory that represents the mechanical behavior of a polymer. The first step will be devoted to learn the software used by the industrial partners. Then, the constitutive theory will be implemented into the software and intensively tested. Finally, the procedures for using this code will be documented. This project is part of a larger Collaborative Research and Development project and is therefore of considerable interest to the industrial partners.
