  1. 1. Method Development & Analysis of Seals using FEM

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion

    Author : Lovisa Svanborg Östlin; [2023]
    Keywords : FEM; guidelines; hyperelastic materials; hyperelastic material models; method development; seals; FEM; riktlinjer; hyperelastiska material; hyperelastiska materialmodeller; metodutveckling; tätningar;

    Abstract : Hyperelasticity is a significant property of rubber, taken advantage of in engineering applications. A common application is the use of seals to prevent fluid transfer (liquid or gas) between solid regions. Volvo CE is often depending on external supplier when developing seals. READ MORE

  3. 2. An Analysis of Including the Evolution Law for the Serial Element in the Musculoskeletal Modelling

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Alexandra Roser; [2019]
    Keywords : biomechanical simulation; contraction dynamics; dissipation inequality; Hill-type muscle model; strain-energy function;

    Abstract : In the classic Hill model for muscle contraction, the split between the muscle and tendon is arbitrary and the problem lacks a unique solution. Instead of reformulating the problem to a differential-algebraic equation and solving for a set of initial conditions, a constant tendon length is commonly assumed in musculoskeletal simulation tools.

  4. 3. 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
