Elastomer
Elastomer Design Validation using SolidWorks Simulation - Sales and Technical Support
from EGS India since 1997
Elastomers such as rubber require special treatment due to material non-linear behaviour.
SolidWorks Simulation provides a rich set of resources for accurately modelling
real-world problems involving high geometric and material non-linearities. Applications
of Cosmos in non-linear domain are wide ranging. Some of the functionalities include:
- Seal behaviour subjected to pre-stress due to assembly and operational
loading
- Inflation of tyres with steel/ nylon chord reinforcements
- Assembly and operational strains in boots, bellows, gaskets, door-seals,
bushings, mounts and other visco-elastic materials
- On-road condition simulation of wheel-tyre assembly, for contact patch
calculations and wheel radial fatigue life.
- Contact stress analysis of seals subjected to pressure, temperature
and frictional effects
Benefits of SolidWorks Simulation for Elastomeric Product Design Validation
SolidWorks Simulation has been proven for design validation of many equipments used
in plastic product design. Some of them include:
- O-rings, Seals and Gaskets
- Tires - Air filled and Solid
- Bellows, ball joint boots and automotive elastomers
SolidWorks Simulation can be used to determine:
- Strains (assembly and pre-strain) and Deflections in elastomeric components
- Efficiency of elastomeric joints for leak-proof design and development
- Least Cost and Weight Designs
- Stiffness and deflections due assembly torque
- Creep and aging effects on elastomers
- Selective Optimization to reduce cost and weight
- Fatigue Life prediction and Failure Mode estimation of load-bearing
members and components
- Limit Load Analysis
