Bergstrom-Boyce (/MAT/LAW95)

This law is a constitutive model for predicting the nonlinear time dependency of elastomer like materials. It uses a polynomial material model for the hyperelastic material response and the Bergstrom-Boyce material model to represent the nonlinear viscoelastic time dependent material response.

This law is only compatible with solid elements.

The response of the material can be represented using two parallel networks A and B. Network A is the equilibrium network with a nonlinear hyperelastic component. In Network B, a nonlinear hyperelastic component is in series with a nonlinear viscoelastic flow element, and hence, is time-dependent network.
