Abstract:

The most popular kind of anti-vibration mounting for compression is a rubber bushing, which has many components bearing the total weight of the movable part between them and the foundation structure. Ethylene Propylene Dine Monomer (EPDM) blending with natural rubber NR (SMR20) with several percentage ratio reinforced by two types of carbon black (CB) to hold flexible recipes for specific applications such as doors seals and roads humps were discussed here. EPDM/SMR20 with blending ratio (70/30) reinforced by CB N375 was the more flexible recipe with results 19 Mpa, 36 IRHD, 600% and 12% for tensile strength, hardness, elongation and compression set respectively. The behavior of EPDM chains that accept the very fine carbon black particles as a filler and reinforcement agent till 80 pphr loading and also that vulcanized by Sulphur played the major effect of this performance. For a numerical dynamic analysis with finite element model, used for forced vibration to evaluate the dynamic response of recipes. Through the results, it was observed that the dynamic response of recipe A is greater than the other recipes. The high value of the response gives the largest area under the curve and thus has the ability to absorb the largest amount of the applied load.
