26.4. Material Properties

The unit system for this example problem is shown in the table below.

Unit System Metric (mm, kg, N, s, mV, mA)
Angle Radians

The rubber boot is made of a rubber material that exhibits an elastic response up to the large strain. Therefore, the Neo-Hookean model, an incompressible hyperelastic material model, is used for the rubber material with properties listed in the table and Workbench screenshot below.

Constants for Neo-Hookean Model
Initial shear modulus (μ)1.5 MPa
Incompressibility parameter (d)0.026 MPa-1
