자동차 타이어의 트레드는 노면과 직접적으로 접촉하며 제동력, 구동력, 소음 등 중요한 역할을 한다. 트레드는 많은 그루브로 이루어져 있는데 고무의 형상을 형성하는 가류 공정에서 불량이 발생하게 되면 트레드의 기능이 저하되어 자동차 성능의 문제로 이어지게 된다. 본 논문은 CAE 해석을 통하여 가류 공정 중 구체적인 고무의 흐름을 분석하였다. 트레드 형상에 따라 고무 흐름의 편차가 발생하기 때문에 형상에 따른 트레드의 고무가 금형에 접촉되는 순서와 속도 그리고 고무의 흐름을 관찰하였다. 트레드의 형상에 따라서 고무가 금형에 안착되는 양상이 다르게 나타났으며 고무의 흐름에 큰 변화를 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Toughening of epoxy resins for improvement of crack resistance has been the subject of intense research interest during the last two decades. Epoxy resins are successfully toughened by blending with a suitable liquid rubber, which initially remains miscible with epoxy and undergoes a phase separation in the course of curing that leads to the formation of a two-phase microstructure, or by directly blending preformed rubbery particle. Unlike the situation for thermoplastics, physical blending is not successful for toughening epoxy resins. Recent advances in the development of various functionalized liquid rubber-based toughening agents and core-shell particles are discussed critically in this review.

A finite element analysis for near-net-shape forming of A16061 powder was performed under warm rubber isostatic pressing and warm die pressing. The advantages of warm compaction by rubber isostatic pressing were discussed to obtain a part with better density distributions. The shape of rubber mold was designed by determining a cavity shape that provides a desired shape of the final powder compact. To simulate densification and deformed shape of a powder compact during pressing, the elastoplastic constitutive equation based on yield function of Shima-Oyane was implemented into a finite element program(ABAQUS). The hyperelastic constitutive equation based on the Ogden strain energy Potential was employed to analyze nonlinear elastic response of rubber. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for Al6061 powder compacts under warm die pressing and warm isostatic pressing.

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.

Based upon the results of the previous work, the experiments are concentrated on the improvement of the durability of rubber coated fabrics as a rain garment material. To obtain a much lighter and durable coated fabric, several kinds of light weight cotton prints having almost equal density in warp and fillingwise were chosen. Rubber coating on these prints was made by topping and spreading process using rubber compound of various viscosity, and the physical properties of final product were analysed and interpreted in terms of adhesion and durability. The results are as follows. 1. Any noticeable difference between two coating processes was not found in terms of physical properties. 2. Base fabrics should be dipped once into a dilute rubber compound before coating operation in order to obtain a uniform adhesion and physical properties, and the optimum range of the viscosity of dipping paste are from 100 poise to 200 poise. 3. Generally, the tearing strength of the coated fabrics is inversely proportional to the adhesion. 4. It was assumed that the increase of the water proofness after water immersion on the finished material which have dense base fabric is chiefly due to the swelling of the cellulosic fiber.

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.

Fatigue life prediction is based on fracture mechanics and database which is established from experimental method. Rubber material also uses the same way for fatigue life prediction. But the absence of standardization of rubber material, various way of composition by each rubber company and uncertainty of fracture criterion makes the design of fatigue life by experimental method almost impossible. Tearing energy which has its origin in energy release rate is evaluated as fracture criterion of rubber material and the applicability of fatigue life prediction method are considered. The system of measuring tearing energy using the principal of virtual crack extension method and fatigue life prediction by the minimum number of experiments are proposed.

To save efforts for capping in the compressive strength tests of concrete, unbonded capping system has been standardized by ASTM C 1231 and AS 1012.9, respectively. These standards, however, do not sufficiently give a full detail of accessories such as steel retaining cap and rubber pad, especially hardness of rubber. Hence, without testing for sizes of steel retaining cap and rubber pad, tests for the quality control of rubber pads were conducted in detail according to Japanese studies. Based on tests, the range of hardness for rubber pad by the compressive strength(200~ 400kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) of concrete has been proposed and the guideline of reuses of a rubber pad is described.

A procedure to predict the fatigue life of rubber components based on the signed principal strain method was proposed. A tension-compression rubber specimen with Jang-gu shape was designed and principal strain distribution was obtained by using the nonlinear finite element analysis. Finite element analysis and fatigue test of strut rubber mount were conducted to evaluate the fatigue life prediction procedure proposed. A procedure was employed to predict the fatigue life of strut rubber mount. Predicted fatigue lives have a good agreement with tested lives within a factor of 3.
