  4. 4. Finite Element Modeling of Rubber Bushing for Crash Simulation - Experimental Tests and Validation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Oscar Jesus Centeno Gil; [2009]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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
