ABAQUS Keywords Reference Manual  

*SHEAR TEST DATA
Specify the normalized shear creep compliance or relaxation modulus as a function of time.

This option can be used only in conjunction with the *VISCOELASTIC option and cannot be used if the *COMBINED TEST DATA option is used.

Optional parameter:

SHRINF

To specify creep test data, set this parameter equal to the value of the long-term, normalized shear compliance .

To specify relaxation test data, set this parameter equal to the value of the long-term, normalized shear modulus . The shear compliance and shear modulus are related by . The fitting procedure will use the specified value in the constraint .

Data lines to specify creep test data: 

First line:

  1. Normalized shear compliance . 

  2. Time . 

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to give the compliance-time data.

Data lines to specify relaxation test data: 

First line:

  1. Normalized shear relaxation modulus . 

  2. Time . 

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to give the modulus-time data.
