Abstract

A study of the static and dynamic finite element analysis (FEA) of elastomers is presented. Methods of developing static and dynamic finite element material models are discussed and then utilised to characterise an elastomer typically used as an impact absorber. These material models are then used to analyze the mechanical behavior of a specific impact absorber design using both static and dynamic FEA, and the results are compared. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed, as are the corresponding implications to the design of elastomeric components.
