SIMULATION METHODS FOR RUBBER ANTIVIBRATION SYSTEMS PDF

Rubber-to-metal bonded systems are widely used in industry with long term service, such as in high-speed trains and marine ships. These complex systems are difficult to model and predict. Hence, a comprehensive book for simulation methods in this specialized field is desirable.

This book is intended for engineers who work in industry on the simulation, design and applications of rubber anti-vibration systems. In addition, it can serve as a reference book for scientists.

This book is the Second Edition of the book entitled "Numerical Prediction & Case Validation for Rubber Anti-vibration System" (in both English and Chinese). The newly added content contains predictions on idealized Mullins effect without data fitting; creep/relaxation variations from temperature change, loading, hardness and different component and dynamic interaction between solid rubber and fluid.
