Coupled thermomechanical analysis of viscoelastic dampers

This is the title of a very nice Abaqus Example Problem (see Example Problem Manual).  This problem showcases the use of a Hyperelastic + Prony + TRS material model for a material and is shown to generate heat as the material is cyclically loaded in shear.

I used a series of Abaqus simulations to extract some synthetic test data for this material.

The attached zip file contains an Excel file of the synthetic data, the various Abaqus input files, and two 3dxml files that can be imported in 3DX for use with the Material Calibration app.
