基于单轴拉伸有机硅凝胶超弹性性能参数的确立及结构有限元仿真

Establishment of hyperelastic parameters and structural finite element simulation based on uniaxial tensile for silicone gel

  • 摘要: 为了研究有机硅凝胶的超弹性性能,在−30~30℃的环境温度范围内采用单轴拉伸(UT)实验,对灌封用硅凝胶的力学性能进行表征,获得了硅凝胶在不同温度下的应力-应变曲线。研究发现,硅凝胶初始弹性模量在−30~0℃的范围内与温度正相关,在0~30℃的范围内与温度负相关。随后,据UT实验数据讨论在有限元模拟中植入超弹性本构方程(Neo Hookean、Mooney-Rivlin、Yeoh、Arruda-Boyce等)的选取策略及参数确定方法,基于优选的Neo Hookean模型建立了一个温度相关超弹性本构模型,以描述硅凝胶在较大温度范围内的应力-应变响应。然后,利用商业有限元分析软件ABAQUS提供的UHYPER子程序描述与温度相关的Neo Hookean超弹性模型,结合布拉格光纤光栅监测技术(Fiber Bragg grating,FBG),选取观测点,对典型硅凝胶灌封结构在−30~30℃高低温循环进行数值模拟和实验监测。结果表明,应变的实验测试值和数值仿真结果相差7%,验证了本文建立的超弹性本构方程的可靠性和实际应用价值。

     

    Abstract: To investigate the hyperelasticity of silicone gel, its mechanical properties were characterized by uniaxial tensile (UT) test in the temperature from −30℃ to 30℃. The stress-strain curves of silicone gel at different temperatures were obtained and found that the initial elastic modulus of silicone gel is positively correlated with temperature from −30℃ to 0℃ and negatively correlated with temperature from 0℃ to 30℃. According to UT experimental data, the selection strategies and parameter determination methods of in-built hyperelastic constitutive equations (Neo Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, Yeoh, Arruda-Boyce, etc.) were discussed in the finite element simulation. Then based on the selected Neo Hookean model, a temperature-dependent hyperelastic constitutive model was established to describe the stress-strain response of silicone gel over a wide temperature range. The temperature-dependent model was written using UHYPER subroutine of ABAQUS. In combination with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) monitoring technology, numerical simulation and experimental monitoring of silicone gel for typical encapsulation structures were carried out during high-low temperature cycles between −30℃ and 30℃. The strain results at the observation points show that the final error between experimental measurement and numerical prediction is 7%, revealing the validity of the hyperelastic constitutive equation derived in this paper and its value in practical application.
