摘要
Accurate evaluations of a completed loading-unloading cycle and dynamic impact response for rubber anti-vibration components have been very challenging for industry over many years. In this article, we have altered the classic hyperelastic models to predict complete loading-unloading response using an energy dissipation approach. In addition, we proposed NFR (Natural Frequency Region) approach to simulate a dynamic impact event instead of using the usual viscoelastic methodology, as results from different viscoelastic models may vary widely and to avoid complex parameter fitting procedures. The proposed approaches have been validated in laboratory experiments using industrial anti-vibration components. We have also detailed a procedure for engineers to implement this approach in commercial finite element software without writing intricate user subroutines, as simulation based on finite element method has been routinely used in industry to support design of new products. It is suggested that these methodologies could be used for a design stage in engineering applications.
