THE COMPLEXITIES OF ELASTOMERS
As engineers, you know the complexities involved in designing products with elastomers because of their unique properties.
ELASTOMER BEHAVIORS
- They can undergo large deformations under load, sustaining large strains
- Their load-extension behavior is markedly nonlinear
- They exhibit time and temperature dependent response with significant damping properties
- They are nearly incompressible, meaning volume does not change appreciably with stress
- The properties are customizable and can change significantly depending on the manufacturing process parameters
Virtual Versus Physical Testing
So, while elastomers have properties that can be beneficial to engineering structures by providing damping and vibration control, it is very challenging to get a full understanding of their response. Physical testing alone cannot give you all the information you need.
Virtual prototyping and simulation not only helps you understand the behavior of your rubber structures better, it also helps reduce design and warranty costs.
We take pride in our elastomer modeling and analysis expertise and the way it has helped transform the design and development of elastomers. Let us help you Succeed!
Take advantage of MSC's expertise to help you accurately model and simulate rubber materials. We can help you in these areas:
- Determination of material properties from test data
- Model nonlinear material behavior for your static and dynamic analyses
- Stress analysis and assessment of damage and failure
We welcome you to explore how MSC can help you improve your product design and development.
