Hello dear friends,
I'm trying to find bonding agents from Australia or Japan.
Until now we used Chemosil, Thixon, Cilbond and others from Europe.
The substrate is steel, and the rubber is natural rubber.
Can someone recommend me an alternative to the bonding agents enumerated above...
Hello dear friends!
The company I work for is facing some problems with the bonding between rubber and metal.
Please forgive the upcoming long post!
The issue appears only on some of the products, mainly the spherical bearings, mostly in the middle area of the product.
The products are...
Hello dear friends!
My company is interested in acquiring a laboratory oven/furnace in order to remove the rubber from metal parts when the product is faulty.
I've searched the web and I've found only one manufacturer of this type of device, in Europe.
In SUA I've found many more but we need...
Hello dear colleagues,
The company I work for bought a used hydraulic press.
On it's identification plate it's stated only UTAS s.n.c. , the other fields like data, tipo, matr are empty(not wiped, just empty).
My manager asked me if I can find any technical information about it but I can't...
Hello all!
Does anyone know if there is a standard for electro-galvanisation / electroplating regarding the thickness tolerances of the coating, based on the surface length, geometry, thickness, etc?
I've searched online but I can't seem to find this kind of information.
Can someone point me in...
Hello everybody!
I'm interested in some programs that are able to simulate rubber molding process ,transfer, injection, compression! Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
PS: At first search I've found Sigmasoft elastomer, but I'm looking for other suggestions
Best regards!
Hello everybody!
My company wants to consider Moldex3d for rubber injection. Has anyone here used this software for rubber?
I saw on their website that the main application is plastics but someone recommend it to us as also good for rubber.
Thank you!
Best regards!
Hello dear friends!
I need your help! In another thread I hoped that someone can guide me to take a deformed stressed body from one analysis to another and Rick guided me in how to bypass that need. This time I need to use only the deformed geometry from one analysis to another. Can it be done...
Hello dear friends,
I have some issues, sometimes, when I try to simulate the contraction of metal/rubber bodies after molding. Right now I'm using the isotropic secant coefficient of thermal expansion, in Ansys 16. Sometimes by using this coefficient my results are according to reality but...
Hello dear friends!
How can I input in Ansys loading and unloading data to same uniaxial test(from my rubber sample)?
Thank you!
PS: until now I needed to input only the loading data and that was simple
Hello dear experts,
I need to subject to a static structural analysis a metal/rubber spring (a steel spring dressed in rubber). Until now, for the metal components of rubber/metal bushes I used the structural steel from Ansys library. For this spring, more exactly for the metal part of the...
Dear experts,
Can I establish the live time of a metal/rubber component with Ansys, subjected to a, let's say, radial displacement or loading? From where should I start? I have no idea if it is possible or how can it be done. At my firm we test experimentally the durability of our components to...
Hello everybody!
Today, I've encountered something strange while I was analyzing a bush in Workbench 15. I've sliced my bush in Design Modeler in regular shaped geometries so I could get less and better elements while meshing and I've obtained some good results. After this, I've refined the mesh...
Hello dear friends!
Today I was uniaxial testing in my lab some rubber specimens to introduce the data in Ansys Workbench. To do this I'm using a tensometer and "dog bone" shaped rubber samples. Is anyone here who has already done this? My results are affected by the way how hard I clamp the...
Hello everybody!
Now are two months since I've been working with Ansys, more exactly Workbench 15. I need to know if there is possible to export a body from one static structural analysis into another static structural analysis so that I can constrain that body in other way(I don't need to...
Hello everybody!
I'm trying to analyze an sphaerolager in Ansys( the sphaerolager is subjected to an radial displacement,as last step in which it doesn't converge). Like in the case of an bush, which I've simulated earlier (also metal/rubber component), it gives me a hard time to converge to a...
