Permanent set in rubberlike materials

This feature:

  • is intended for modeling permanent set observed in filled elastomers and thermoplastics;

  • is based on multiplicative split of the deformation gradient;

  • is based on the theory of incompressible isotropic hardening plasticity;

  • can be used with any isotropic hyperelasticity model;

  • can be combined with Mullins effects; and

  • cannot be used to model viscoelastic or hysteresis effects or with the steady-state transport procedure.
