Up to now, several mathematical theories based on strain energy functions have been developed for rubber materials. These theories, coupled with the finite element method, can be used very effectively by engineers to analyze and design rubber components. However, due to the complexities of the mathematical formulations and the lack of general guidelines available fur the analysis of rubber components, it is a formidable task for an engineer to analyze rubber components. In this paper a method for predicting strain energy functions - Neo-Hookean model and Mooney-Rivlin model - from the hardness using the empirical equation without any experiment is discussed. First based on the elasticity theories of rubber, the relation between stress and strain is defined. Then for the butyl rubbers, the model constants of Neo-Hookean model and Mooney-Rivlin model are calculated from uniaxial tension tests. From the results, the usefulness of the empirical equation to estimate elastic modulus from hardness is confirmed and, fur Mooney-Rivlin model, the predicted and the experimental model constants are compared and discussed.

In this paper, the large deformation of hollow silicon rubber gasket is treated. The frictional contact occurs between groove and the outer part of hollow gasket, and the frictional self-contact exists in the inner parts of hollow gasket. The silicon rubber has the nonlinear elastic behavior and its material property is approximately incompressible. Hence, the stress analysis requires an existence of a strain energy function, which is usually defined in terms of invariants or stretch ratio such as generalized Mooney-Rivlin and Ogden model. Considering large compressive deformation and friction, Mooney-Rivlin 3rd model and Coulomb's friction model are assumed. The numerical analysis is obtained by the commercial finite element program MARC. But, due to large deformation, the elements degenerate in the inner parts of hollow gasket. This means that the analysis of subsequent increments is carried out with a very poor mesh. In order to continue the analysis with a sufficient accuracy, it is necessary to use new finite element modeling by remesh. Experiments are also performed to show the validity of present method. As a conclusion, numerical results by this research have good agreements with experiments.

Pneumatic tires usually contain a variety of rubber compositions, each designed to contribute some particular factor to overall performance. Rubber compounds designed for a specific function will usually be similar but not identical In composition and properties. Since 1970`s finite element analysis of tire has been performed extensively, which requires some energy density functions of rubber components of a tire. The conventional Mooney-Rivlin material model is one of the description that is commonly used in the analysis of tire. In this paper, we report the two material constants of gooney-Rivlin material model for some rubber compounds of a real pneumatic tire, which are obtained through uniaxial tension test.

Rubber seat is extensively used to reduce the vibration of machine or structure. Over the years an enormous effort has been put into developing procedures to provide properties of rubber material for design function. However, there are still a lot of difficulties to analyze static characteristics of rubber components with hyper elasticity and nonlinear large deformation. In this paper material property is obtained by strain-stress curve using a tension test. Mooney-Rivlin Coefficients are gotten by fitting strain-stress curve. The visco-elastic characteristics of refrigerator rubber mount is determined by using ANSYS. And to minimize the rubber stiffness, the rubber seat shape optimization is performed.

본 연구에서는 다구찌방법을 이용하여 고분자 전해질 연료전지 스택 가스켓의 강건설계를 수행하였다. 스택의 조립과정 시 발생하는 조립오차(잡음인자)를 고려한다. 이러한 잡음인자를 포함한 연구는 연료전지 스택의 안전성 확보와 성능향상을 위해 필요하다. 잡음인자의 영향이 둔감하도록 설계하기 위하여 다구찌의 강건설계 방법을 적용하였다. 가스켓 해석의 경우 하중과 변위의 초탄성 거동을 표현하기 위하여 Mooney-Rivlin의 변형률에너지 함수를 사용하였다. 또한, 단축 및 등가 이축 인장 시험을 통해 초탄성 거동의 해석에 필요한 물성을 구하였으며, 비선형 초탄성 해석을 수행하고 강건설계를 수행 하였다. PEMFC 스택의 강건설계를 통하여 구조적 신뢰성을 확보하게 되었다.

It is important to have a well developed strain energy function in order to understand the mechanical behavior of biomaterial like the blood vessel of artery. However, since it is not possible to have a complete form of strain energy function of artery, theoretical framework describing the behaviour of Rubber-like material which is similar to blood vessel is applied to infer useful forms of strain energy function of biomaterial. Based on Chuong-Fung model and Mooney-Rivlin model, material parameters are estimated based on experimental data. From the results, it can be inferred that the estimated parameters can be used to explain the difference of mechanical characteristics between normal vessel and vessel with stent.

The performance loss as pressurized by inside components like GDL and bipolar plate happened when assembling the PEMFC stack with clamping force. Numerical analysis of Gasket was carried out to analyze distribution of clamping pressure about the inside components. In case of the gasket, Mooney-Rivlin model which is the Strain Energy Function was used for numerical analysis. This result made the stress distribution of bipolar plate to expect.
