The natural frequencies of a system using elastomeric mounts will widely change over a -50 to +80 deg temp range. I don't think using hydraulic damping would be the best way to solve your problem because they are temperature dependant."highspeed" talked about silicon, this is the best...
How good ALGOR can achieve simulations with non linear materials like rubber ?
I'm looking for a FEA software and I want to know if ALGOR is a good alternative to rubber-to-metal bonded parts static and dynamic analyses.
What properties does ALGOR use to characterize the compound ?
thank you
thanks to koverend for the reference papers, it was really helpfull.
And I also want to thank Brad for his reference to Axel Products.
Right now I'm putting ABAQUS on the top of my list (even though I don't have a clue about the price).
Anybody else wants to preach for is favorite software ...
I design rubber parts bonded on metal inserts and I'm looking for a FEA software. I often work with neoprene like bhat165 does in our present case.
Refering to thread727-37632, which software would you recommend for this particular application ?
It seems like ALGOR encounter some problems...
