Mechanical systems with rubber parts have been used widely in industry fields. The evaluation of the physical characteristics of rubber is important in rubber application. Rubber material is useful to machine component for excellent shock absorbing characteristics. The impact characteristics of rubber were examined by experimental and finite element method. The impact test was conducted with a free-drop type impact tester. The ABAQUS/Explicit was used for finite element analysis. The effects of thickness and diameter of the cylindrical rubber structures were investigated. The impact absorbing ratio of the rubber material was studied order to compare the peak reaction force of the specimen which only contained aluminum against the specimen with the inserted rubber part.

ER mount can be used instead of rubber mount in cylindrical shell to improve the vibration and noise performance. The noise radiated by cylindrical shell will be reduced by reducing the force transmitted to the cylindrical shell through ER mount. In this paper LQ control theory is used to reduce the transmitted force to the cylindrical shell. The finite element method of cylindrical shell is formulated by NASTRAN and its vibrating shape is calculated in frequency domain. The noise radiated from the cylindrical shell is calculated by the use of SYSNOISE, the boundary element CAE tool. The vibration of the cylindrical shell and radiated acoustic pressure is compared in case of both controlled and uncontrolled ER mount.

The effect of static preload on the dynamic properties of rubber materials is rather important, especially when good isolation characteristics are required at high frequencies. However, there are still few papers for dynamic characteristics of compressed rubber components. It was demonstrated in reference (4) that for bonded rubber material of a cylindrical shape, a simplified theory equation between linear dynamic and nonlinear static behavior of rubber material was useful to predict their combined effects. This paper presents the second part of the study. It is confirmed that for the compressed rubber material, the stress can be factored into a function of frequency and a function of strain(stretch). The finite element methodis applied to analyze non-linear large deformation of rubber material and its results are compared with those of a simplified theory equation. The predicted dynamic material properties based on non-linear static finite element analyses have a good agreement of experimental results and those based on simplified theory equation.

The main goal of this study is to investigate the hysteretic behavior of polyurethane rubber springs in compression with and without precompression. The precompression is introduced to provide rigid force in the behavior, and thereby a precompressed rubber spring can be used for a restoring element. For the goal, this study prepares nine rubber springs for three suites which are all cylindrical in shape with a hole at the center. The rubber springs in each suite have different dimensions of diameter and length but have similar shape factors; thus, they are designed to have a similar compressive stiffness. Three rubber springs from the nine are tested with increasing compressive strain up to 30% strain to investigate the behavior of the rubber springs without precompression as well as the effect of the loading strain. The nine springs are compressed up to 30% strain with increasing precompressive strain from 0 to 20% at increments of 5%. The study analyzes the effective stiffness and damping ratio of the rubber springs with and without precompression, and the rigid force of the precompressed rubber springs is discussed. Finally, this study suggests a regression method to determine the minimum required precompression to eliminate residual strain after unloading.

The elastomer forming process was employed for many operations which included piercing, sheet metal forming and tube metal forming process. This paper presents cylindrical tube forming process using rubber material such as polyurethane. For elastomer forming process, tensile tests at room temperature were performed to obtain the material properties of polyurethane and tube. In particular, biaxial tensile test were carried out to obtain the coefficient of strain energy function of the rubber material. Finite element analyses were also carried out to investigate the forming load and formability of tube. It was compared with the experimental results about the forming load and the formability of tube. From these results, it was investigated a forming process to decrease the forming load for elastomer forming process.

It is positively necessary to study on the stiffness of a 13degree-type impact tester in order to improve the fracture prediction of impact testing in wheels using FE(finite-element) analysis. The 13degree-type impact tester consists of an impact striker, a wheel fixer, a steel plate, and four cylindrical rubbers. Important parts of the tester are the steel plate and four cylindrical rubbers which play a role of absorbing impact energy during impact testing. Because of these buffers, the RF(reaction force) variation of the lower part in the 13degree-type impact tester showed the tendency like a damped harmony oscillation during impact testing. In order to investigate the stiffness of a 13degree-type impact tester, this work measured each stiffness of a steel plate and cylindrical rubbers. The stiffness of a cylindrical rubber was measured using a compressive tester. On the other hand, the stiffness of a steel plate was predicted by simulating experimental method using FE analysis.

With the increase of storage density and data transfer rates in optical disk drive, mechanical issues, mainly noise and vibration, become critical. Rubber materials are extensively used in various machine design application, mainly for vibration/shock/noise control devices. However, there are still a lot of difficulties in the use of designing the rubber components with complex shape and under pre-deformed state. It was demonstrated in that the variation of rubber component stiffness with the pre-deformed state were calculated by the finite element method and the reliability of numerical results were checked by compared with the measuring the deflection values. This paper presents a efficient design method of rubber mounts for anti-vibration of an optical disk thrive. With an empirical equation to estimate elastic modulus from hardness, and dynamic characteristics of rubber material of a cylindrical shape, this method is capable of predicting the dynamic characteristics of rubber components at design stage.

Cellulose production by Acetobacter pasteurianus was investigated in static culture using four bioreactors with silicone rubber membrane submerged in the medium. The shape of the membrane was flat sheet, flat sack, tube and cylindrical balloon. Production rate of cellulose as well as its yield on consumed glucose by the bacteria grown on the flat type membranes was approximately ten-fold greater than those on the non-flat ones in spite of the same membrane thickness. The membrane reactor using flat sacks of silicone rubber membrane as support of bacterial pellicle can supply greater ratio of surface to volume than a conventional liquid surface culture and is promising for industrial production of bacterial cellulose in large scale.

설계 또는 해석을 위해 고무를 모델링할 때, 쓸 수 있는 구성방정식이 너무 많음으로 말미암아 종종 당황하거나 수수께끼 같은 일을 경험할 때가 있다. 어떤 모델들은 몇 개의 재료상수만을 갖지만 또 다른 모델들은 많은 수의 재료상수를 갖는다. 연구자들은 광범위한 실험데이터를 준비하여 신중하게 피팅을 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 8배 정도까지 큰 신장 영역에 대해 대표적인 고무재료의 구성방정식들을 비교해 보았다. 대부분의 공학적 응용에서처럼 상대적으로 변형이 적은 경우에는 연속체기반모델 또는 체인분자모델이 유사하게 쓰일 수 있지만, 대부분 생체적 거동에서 볼 수 있는 큰 변형의 경우에는 체인분자모델들이 더 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 구성방정식에 따른 분기점의 존재 여부를 알아보기 위하여 트렐로어 패치와 원통형 막대풍선에 대한 분기점 해석을 이론적 및 수치적으로 수행하였다. 키슬리의 조건식으로부터 트렐로어 패치에서의 분기점은 연속체기반 모델에서는 존재하였으나 체인분자모델에서는 존재하지 않음을 보였다. 원통형 막대풍선은 축신장 허용의 경계조건에 대해서는 모든 모델들이 분기점 거동을 보여주었다. 따라서 고무의 분기점 거동을 구하고자 할 때는 분기점의 존재유무 자체가 재료모델의 선정에 의존적이라 할 수 있다.
