Abstract
TPE is used as alternative for rubber, the best example is the weather strip for automobile. The nonlinear material properties of weather strip were important to predict the behaviors of weather strip. Uniaxial tension and equi-biaxial tension tests were performed to achieve the nonlinear material constant and stress-strain curves. The nonlinear material constant of weather strip is evaluated by using the nonlinear finite element analysis. In this paper, the prediction for weather strip is analyzed by using commercial finite element program, ANSYS. The nonlinear finite element analysis of weather strip is executed to predict the behavior of weather strip for automobile.
