Silicone Experimental Data

[stella]

I am trying to replicate a diaphragm acutator in FE. I would like to check that the constitutive model I am using is correct, therefore would like to validate it would some published data on silicone (uniaxial and biaxial tests) Where can I find this data, I have only found data for uniaxial tests. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Here are three references that might give you additional experimental data:

:arrow: Fatigue and Tribological Properties of Plastics and Elastomers Interactive Tables Tables with Graph Plotter

:arrow: Effect of Creep and Other Time Related Factors on Plastics and Elastomers Interactive Tables Tables with Graph Plotter

:arrow: Silicon-Containing Polymers - The Science and Technology of Their Synthesis and Applications

You might also want to consider running the experiments yourself on the actual material that you are interested in.

Best of luck,
