Parameters Determination of Mooney-Rivlin Model for Rubber Material of Mechanical Elastic Wheel

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the driving safety of vehicles, a non-pneumatic safety tire named mechanical elastic wheel was developed, and the structural components of mechanical elastic wheel and the method of determining the rubber material parameters of Mooney-Rivlin model were introduced. Uniaxial tensile tests of the rubber in different parts of mechanical elastic wheel were carried out with a stretch test machine and the material parameters and of the Mooney-Rivlin model were determined by fitting the experimental data. Finite element method (FEM) was used to validate the stability of the fitted data. The results show that the obtained material parameters have high accuracy and can be a reference for the subsequent finite element simulation of mechanical elastic wheel.
