I am working on rubber elasticity. I know little of ABAQUS VERSION 6.8. I am doing experimentation and now i want to simulate the same in Abaqus. In my case the rubber material is stretched to some extend by giving load along its axis. After that i want to use the output of the stretched rubber as input and creating new step to give sticking property as like hybrid composite . How to simulate this problem, if possible anyone can help me out.
