Rubber Covered Rolls- the Thermoviscoelastic Problem a Finite Element Solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coupled thermomechanical behaviour of a layer of thermorheologically simple material bonded to a uniformly rotating rigid cylinder and indented by another rigid cylinder is studied by the finite element method. The various approximations necessary to reduce the problem to one of tractable size and the computational methods used are discussed in some detail. The complete thermal, deformation and stress fields may be computed. Some results, computed for a grid using 'rectangular' elements, presented graphically include the temperature distribution, the stress distribution near the bond surface, the contact pressure distribution and the asymmetric surface deformation of the rubberlike laver.

Rubber Covered Rolls — The Nonlinear Elastic Problem
The problem of the indentation of a rubberlike layer bonded to a rigid cylinder and indented by another rigid cylinder is analyzed. The rubberlike layer is assumed to be made of a homogeneous Mooncy-Rivlin material. The materially and geometrically nonlinear problem is solved by using the finite-element code developed by the author. Results computed and presented graphically include the pressur...
متن کاملThermal Analysis of Tire
One of the great enemies of rubber compounds is heat. Heat will cause chemical and physical degradation of vulcanized rubber as well as a considerable loss in its strength. A major source of heat generation in a tire is due to internal friction resulting from the viscoelastic deformation of the tire as it rolls along the road. Another source of heat generation in a tire is due to its contact fr...

متن کاملNumerical Analysis of the Quasistatic Thermoviscoelastic
In this work, the quasistatic thermoviscoelastic thermistor problem is considered. The thermistor model describes the combination of the effects due to the heat, electrical current conduction and Joule’s heat generation. The variational formulation leads to a coupled system of nonlinear variational equations for which the existence of a weak solution is recalled. Then, a fully discrete algorith...
متن کاملThe study of seismic resistance of rubber-metal supports
This research reveals the efficiency of seismic isolation system in the form of rubber-metal supports with different height buildings at multi component seismic impact. As an example, seismically insulated monolithic reinforced concrete 5, 9 and 16 story buildings are considered. The solution of the problem is obtained by a direct integration of the motion equations for an explicit scheme in fi...
