Design simulation of twisted cord-rubber structure using ProE/ANSYS

摘要

A three-dimensional model of a twisted cord embedded in rubber matrix was investigated to estimate the interface stresses. CAD model of the twisted cord geometry through blended feature was carried out using Pro/ENGINEER software. Twisted cord model representative of a typical cord was developed and analyzed for a realistic analysis of cords used in cord-rubber structure. Finite element analysis was performed on the models under axial, and combined axial and lateral loading using the ANSYS software.
