2. Finite Element Modeling of Rubber Bushing for Crash Simulation - Experimental Tests and Validation
University essay from Lunds universitet/ByggnadsmekanikAbstract : Until recently, the general level of detail in full car crash models has not allowed a physical modeling of rubber bushings with solid elements. This is partly because of the difficulty in modeling the complex characteristic of rubber, but also due to limited understanding of the mechanical properties of rubber materials. READ MORE

3. Prediction and Modelling of Fastener Flexibility Using FE
University essay from Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utvecklingAbstract : This report investigates the feasibility and accuracy of determining fastener flexibility with 3D FE and representing fasteners in FE load distribution models with simple elements such as springs or beams. A detailed study of 3D models compared to experimental data is followed by a parametric study of different shell modelling techniques. READ MORE
