METHOD FOR PREDICTING ELASTIC RESPONSE PERFORMANCE OF RUBBER PRODUCT, METHOD FOR DESIGN, AND DEVICE FOR PREDICTING ELASTIC RESPONSE PERFORMANCE

摘要

An elastic response performance prediction method that employs a finite element analysis method to predict an elastic response performance expressing deformation behavior of a rubber product. The elastic response performance of the rubber product is predicted by employing a constitutive equation that expresses temperature and strain dependence of strain energy in the rubber product, and that incorporates a number of links between cross-linked points in a statistical molecule chain, which is expressed using a parameter representing extension crystallization.
