Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of finite element simulation, and in particular to the finite element simulation of rubber bearings. Specifically, it is a non-linear finite element modeling method for creep analysis of rubber bearings. Background Art
[0002] The intermediate support of a vehicle drive shaft belongs to a kind of rubber bearing, which mainly bears the centrifugal force load of the drive shaft and plays a role in attenuating the bending vibration and torsional vibration of the drive shaft. It is a key system to improve the comfort performance of the vehicle. However, rubber is a viscoelastic material with highly non-linear mechanical properties. When rubber bearings work in an alternating load environment for a long time, creep phenomena often occur. Once creep occurs in the rubber bearing of the vehicle drive shaft, it will not only affect the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect of the rubber bearing, but also amplify the vibration of the drive shaft, making the comfort performance of the vehicle worse. Therefore, creep analysis and control of rubber bearings are the basis for reducing the vibration of the drive shaft and improving the comfort of the vehicle.
[0003] At present, the creep analysis of rubber bearings mainly adopts the finite element simulation method, that is, using ABAQUS software to establish a non-linear finite element model of the rubber bearing and setting creep loads for creep variable simulation calculation. The disadvantages of this method include: (1) lack of methods for correcting and statically calibrating the parameters of the rubber constitutive model; (2) lack of dynamic calibration methods for rubber bearings; (3) no consideration of the influence of vibration and temperature on creep. The above factors lead to large errors in the existing simulation methods, and the simulation results cannot truly reflect the creep characteristics of rubber bearings.
[0004] For example, a method for predicting the creep characteristics of a rubber isolator disclosed in the Chinese patent with the publication number CN112507595A on March 16, 2021, includes: establishing a geometric model of the rubber isolator; meshing the rubber part of the rubber isolator; adopting a hyperelastic-nonlinear viscoelastic superposition constitutive model and using a constitutive model parameter identification method to complete the material property setting; constraining the six degrees of freedom of all nodes of the metal outer tube of the rubber isolator; associating all nodes of the metal inner tube of the rubber isolator with the central node of the rubber isolator, and applying a force with a constant magnitude along the central node to complete the boundary condition setting; result post-processing: recording the change of the displacement of the central node of the rubber isolator over time to obtain the creep variable curve of the central node, and evaluating the creep characteristics of the rubber isolator according to the creep variable curve of the central node of the rubber isolator. This patent application predicts the creep characteristics of rubber isolators with different structures under different load conditions by means of finite elements, but its practicability and operability are relatively low.
[0005] In order to solve the shortcomings of existing finite element simulation methods, improve the creep simulation accuracy of rubber bearings, and enhance the practicability and operability of the finite element simulation method for rubber bearing creep calculation, the present invention proposes a non-linear finite element modeling method for rubber bearing creep analysis.
