Papers by Keyword: Rubber Shock Absorber

Abstract: Rubber shock absorbers are the key parts to isolate vibrations of the machinery and equipment. In this paper, a three dimensional finite element model of a rubber shock absorber is established; then the computation of three dimensional fatigue crack growth rates are discussed by using the nonlinear finite element method. The stress distribution which can determine the initial crack location and the possible risk surface under dynamic loads is obtained. The three dimensional crack growth is simulated by using finite element method and linear elastic fracture mechanics. A brittle fracture process of the rubber shock absorber along the dangerous surface is simulated by using the cohesive element of ABAQUS.

Abstract: Development of special rubber shock absorber test equipment for vehicle will become very important, this equipment can test and analysis of dynamic characteristics for rubber shock absorber.The paper discusses the problem on optimum design of electro-hydraulic servo system which drives the vibration set. A closed system for controlling mechanical position or motion using feedback from the electro-hydraulic servo valve of the device as an input has been used in hydraulic servo system. The maximum region of design parameters has been defined for hydraulic servo cylinder as a core element of the electro-hydraulic exciting system. Established the mathematical model of the system, and the dynamic characteristics of the hydraulic servo cylinder are investigated by utilizing the simulation software MATLAB. The results of computer emulation show that this method is practical.
