A shell-imitated rubber
bushing design method based on a microcosmic contact mechanical model belongs to the technical field of rubber bushings, and comprises the following steps: designing a shell-imitated rubber
knuckle bearing with a steel-rubber-steel interface synergistic structure; the method comprises the following steps: performing a uniaxial tensile test on a rubber
bushing material to obtain stress-strain data,
processing the
test data by using a fitting tool, and selecting a rubber constitutive model according to a deviation value between a fitting curve and a test curve; performing contact stress analysis and static stiffness calculation on the bionic rubber
bushing; the radial contact area of the rubber bushing is calculated, and the steel-rubber interface contact area is optimized by controlling the geometric angle and
radius of a steel layer; and importing a single stress-strain result obtained by finite
element analysis into fatigue
analysis software, and predicting the fatigue life of the rubber bushing. The shell bionic structure is applied to the heavy-duty
truck chassis rubber bushing, and the technical problems that an existing heavy-duty
truck rubber bushing is insufficient in rigidity and prone to failure due to fatigue under high-strength dynamic loads are solved.
