Rubber has large differences in elastic characteristics from the other solid materials such as metals. Firstly, the rubber exhibits considerably large elastic compliance. Second is highly non-linear elasticity in which the compliance decreases with increase in strain. The main objective in this research is to reveal the dependence of rubber friction upon these elastic characteristics of the rubber in detail. A super elastic FEM analysis is carried out with using an elastic property of practical rubber. From the calculated result, it is cleared that the rubber makes large real contacting area easier than the metals.

A lot of equipments installed in ships must be isolated for relaxing the shock, vibration and noise using the elastic mounts. Most of the elastic mounts are made of the rubber, however it is not easy to design the effective rubber mount. Because, in general, the rubber has a non-linear constitutive characteristics especially for a large deformation. So, there are many difficulties to estimate the accurate structural response of rubber which is the basis of the shape design of the mounts. In this study, the detailed non-linear viscoelastic large deformation finite element analysis method was dealt with. And to verify validity of the present analysis scheme, the results were compared with experiments.

본 연구에서는 분자량이 다른 순수 천연고무 용융체와 다양한 유형의 카본블랙을 혼합한 배합고무 용융체의 탄성반응을 조사하였다. 또한 카본블랙과 고무 분자와의 상호작용과 이들 탄성반응이 갖는 상관성을 규명키 위해 입자의 크기와 구조가 다른 카본블랙을 대상으로 결합고무를 측정하였다. 카본블랙의 함량이 증가할수록 결합고무는 증가하였고 특히 카본블랙 입자의 크기가 작아 비표면적이 넓고 구조가 발달될수록 증가하였다. 카본블랙을 혼합한 배합고무 용융체의 탄성반응은 순수고무 경우에 비해 크게 향상되었으며 특히 결합고무가 큰 경우에 보다 현저하였다. 순수고무 용융체의 분자량이 증가할수록, 그리고 고무에 혼합된 카본블랙 입자의 크기가 작을수록 응력이완 거동은 지연되었으며 복원거동은 보다 탄성적으로 변하였다. 영구변형 거동에 있어서는 고무 분자량이 감소하고 카본블랙 입자 크기가 증가할수록 그 변형정도가 커졌다.

To improve the adhesive strength of natural rubber (NR) for a seismic isolation damper, citraconic acid-g-NR (CCA-g-NR) was synthesized via the melt grafting of citraconic acid (CCA) onto NR using an azobisisnomerobutyronitrile (AIBN) initiator. Subsequently, the influence of CCA and AIBN concentrations on the graft ratio G/R (%) and graft efficiency G/E (%) of the CCA-g-NR was investigated. The optimum CCA and AIBN concentrations required to achieve the desired G/R (3.49%) and G/E (49.8%) were found to be 7 phr and 0.13 phr, respectively. Additionally, we studied the influence of CCA-g-NR concentration on the mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus at 300%), adhesive strength, and cure characteristics of the rubber compound in the seismic isolation damper. As the concentration of CCA-g-NR increased, the elongation at break and adhesive strength of the compound increased, whereas its tensile strength and modulus at 300% decreased. Moreover, as the concentration increased, the maximum torque decreased and the scorch time was delayed to obtain an optimal vulcanization time.

To evaluate the aging of a rubber pad in power window switch which is the part of a vehicle, the accelerated thermal aging test of rubber pad material is performed. Finite element analysis was performed using the nonlinear material constants of the rubber pad to calculate the operating force, and the Arrhenius relationship was derived from the aging temperature and time. The aging test was performed at 150, 180, 210, or 240 ℃ for 1 to 60 days. When the operating force of the rubber pad is changed by 10% from the initial value, the service life is expected to be 113 years, which is much longer than the life of the vehicle. This indicates that the aging life of the rubber pad is sufficiently safe and the operating force of the rubber pad during the life of the vehicle (20 years) was decreased by approximately 8.4%. By examining the correlation between the shear elastic modulus and operating force calculated from finite element analysis under each aging test condition, the changes in the operating force of the rubber pad and the shear elastic modulus showed good linear relationship. The aging life could be predicted by the change in shear elastic modulus and a process for predicting the aging life of automotive power window switch rubber pad parts is described herein.

미가교 천연고무의 응력완화와 탄성복원에 대한 카본블랙의 영향을 조사하였다. 카본블랙의 형태가 보다 작고 높은 구조의 특징을 가질 때 응력완화는 더 지연되었고 탄성복원은 더 활발하였다. 이 결과는 결합고무의 크기, 즉 천연고무와 카본블랙의 상호작용의 크기에 기인하였다.

In this work, effects of hyper-elastic rubber material properties on the indentation load-deflection curve and subindenter deformation are first examined via [mite element (FE) analyses. An optimal data acquisition spot is selected, which features maximum strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then contrive two normalized functions. which map an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve. From the strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, we can extract the rubber material properties. This new spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties in a manner more effective than the common uniaxial tensile/compression tests. The indentation approach successfully measures the rubber material properties and the corresponding nominal stress.strain curve with an average error less than 3%.

As for marine propulsion shafting system using 4 stroke diesel engine, it is common to apply reduction gear box between diesel engine and shafting with a view of increasing mechanical efficiency, which inevitably require elastic coupling due to avoid chattering and hammering inside of gear box. In this study, optimum method of rectifying propulsion shafting system in case of 750ton fishing vessel specially in a view of torsional vibration, is theoretically studied. After exchange of diesel engine and gear box, analysis result of torsional vibration get worse and so some countermeasure are needed. The elastic coupling is modified from present block type rubber coupling showing relatively high torsional stiffness to rubber coupling with two series elements directly connected. The vibration measurement using two laser torsion meters was done during sea trial, whose results are compared to those of calculation and verified.

Low molecular weight liquid butadiene rubber (LqBR) is a processing aid that can resolve the migration problem of tire tread compounds. Various studies are being conducted to replace the petroleum-based processing oil with LqBR. However, the effect of the loading time of LqBR in the compounding process on silica dispersion and vulcanizate properties is not well known. In this study, we analyzed silica dispersion, vulcanizate properties, and viscoelastic properties of silica-filled tire tread compound according to the processing aid type (TDAE oil, non-functional LqBR) and, silane terminated LqBR) and input timing. In the non-functional LqBR compounds, the 'with TESPT' mixing procedure showed excellent dynamic viscoelastic properties while silane-terminated LqBR compounds showed that the 'after TESPT' mixing procedure was good for 300% modulus and abrasion resistance.

본 연구에서는 먼저 유한요소해석을 통해 주요 물성계수들이 압입시 하중-변위 곡선형상에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 유한요소 압입해석을 통해 마찰계수의 영향으로 하중-변위 곡선, 시편하부의 단위부피당 변형에너지 및 변형률 주불변량이 바뀌지 않는 최적 압입깊이와 시편하부지점을 선정하였다. 이러한 관찰을 통해 하나의 요소에서 얻어지는 단위부피당 변형 에너지와 변형률 주불변량을 하중-변위 데이터와 모사 시킬 수 있는 무차원 함수를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이 과정에서 예측된 물성계수를 바탕으로 공칭응력-공칭변형률 곡선을 얻을 수 있었다.
