    Hello Prakash,

     

    Thank you for showing interest in the topic.

    Regarding my topic, I have a structure which is preloaded with bolts and going to have a load which is going to ramp up with respect to time. I know the load vs time graph. Also the main material is a Rubber compound making it a non linear problem.

     

    So can you suggest any solution for the problem.

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Bharat
