Difference between results of Linear static and Non linear quasi static.

Yes, ofcourse Linear Static does not take into account the contact - it is nonlinear, generally all nonlinearity affects including:

- material nonlinearity: stress is above yield point

- geometric nonlinearity: stiffness matrix sensitive with geometry deformation

- boundary nonlinearity: contact

And also 'static' means no dynamic affect can be captured, so every loads must be applied slowly

Hi,

MATHE is a Hyperelastic material.

HyperElastic materials behave differently compared to isotropic materials and their properties are extracted through strain energy potential.

Hence linear static will not take account of MATHE card.

Hello Rahul and Tinh,

Thanks for the help,

Hello guys,

What can you say about transient, Random and frequency response analysis. I have heard that random and frequency response are linear analysis. What if these cases have material defined by MATHE and has contacts in it?

Hi Bharat,

FRF, modal, linear transient, random response are linear dynamic when we talk in Solid mechanics terminology.

You can either do a implicit or explicit dynamic analysis for instance a drop test for nonlinear transient analysis.
