This paper is the first one of two-parted research efforts focusing on the modeling of rubber pad forming process. The rubber pad, driven by the pressurized fluid during the forming process, pushes the sheet metal to solid tool half and forms a part to final shape. In this part of the paper, a numerical procedure for the FE analysis of the rubber pad deformation is presented. The developed three-dimensional FE model is based on the total Lagrangian description of rubber maerial characterized by nearly incompressible hyper-elastic behavior under a large deformation assumption. Validity of the model as well as effects of different algorithms corresponding to incompresibility constraints and time integration methods on numerical solution responses are also demonstrated.

This paper applies the FE analysis procedure, developed in the Part I of the companion article, to the three-dimensional rubber pad deformation during rubber-pad forming process. Effects of different algorithms corresponding to incompressibility constraint and time integration methods on numerical solution responses are investigated. Laboratory scale experiments support the validity of the developed FE procedure an demonstrate the accuracy of the numerical models. Full scale model responses are also predicted using the reasonable method and parameters obtained in laboratory modeling.

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.

Using hyper-elastic material has been increased gradually and its range was extended all over the industrial. In addition, the performance prediction of this material was required not only experimental methods like metal material but also numerical methods. In this study, we presented the process how to use numerical method for hyper-elastic material and then, it was applied for seat-ring of butterfly valve by using this process. The finite element analysis was executed to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of hyper-elastic material and search the optimum model considered conditions and features. According to that model the coefficient was obtained by using Contact analysis.

The power steering hose is a kind of high-pressure hose with reinforced braids in rubber material. It is usually manufactured through the swaging process. In this paper, the deformation characteristics of a power steering hose during the swaging process were analyzed using the nonlinear finite element method. The material properties were obtained on experiments, and the contact conditions were used in consideration of real manufacturing process. Investigations were focused on the stress and strain values of the hose and meta] components at the maximum jaw stroke and at the completion of the process. Especially, the results of inner rubber component were interpreted in detail, because of its important role in the hose efficiency.

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.

Seals in universal joint bearing are a important component reinforcing lubrication performance by holding a lubricant and preventing infiltration of dust, moisture, etc. There is a great difference in seal performance according to seal shape and bonding position. Therefore, in this study, as for the lib type seal and O-ring type seal, FEM analysis are conducted using Mooney-Rivlin Model. The results are indicate that O-ring having higher contact stress and larger contact area than lib type is more profitable.

Proto-type seismic isolation rubber bearings are investigated through nonlinear hyperelasticity finite elements using the ANSYS general purpose structural analysis code. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the maximum horizontal strain range which can be obtained with a 250KN hydraulic actuator. A Mooney-Rivlin strain energy density function was used as a constitutive law for rubber. The results are compared with the test data available in the literature and found to in good agreement only in the higy strain range. The analysis results can be used with conservatism to predict the necessary force required to a specified displacement such as the purpose of this analysis. However, more precise constitutive model will be required to simulate the bearing behavior with accuracy in the mid-range strain.

A finite element procedure for the analysis of rubber-like hyperelastic material is developed. The volumetric incompressiblity conditions of the rubber deformation is included in the formulation by using penalty method. In this paper, the behavior of the rubber deformation is represented by hyperelastic constitutive relations based on a generalized Mooney-Rivlin model. The principle of virtual work is used to derive nonlinear finite element equation for the large displacement problem and presented in total-Lagrangian description. The finite element procedure using analytic differentiation resulted in very close solution to the result of the well known commercial packages NISAII AND ABAQUS. Numerical tests show that the results from the numerical differentiation method coincide very well with those from the analytic method and the well known commercial packages in static analysis. The convergency of rubber usingν iteration method is also discussed.

Coupling rubber pad are important components in railway vehicles. It can be used for reduce shock, vibration and noise. Simple tension, equi-biaxial tension and pure shear test were performed to acquire the coefficient of rubber material which were Mooney-Rivlin and Ogden model. The finite element analysis was executed to evaluate the behavior of deformation and stress distribution by using the commercial finite element analysis code. Useful life evaluation are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of the rubber components. In this paper, useful life prediction of rubber pad for railway vehicle were experimentally investigated. Accelerated heat-aging test for rubber material were carried. Compression set results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of the useful life and time to threshold value were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot.
