Modeling Rubber and Viscoelasticity with Abaqus

| www.3ds.com | Dassault Systmes |

Motivation
Rubber materials are found in many components. Some of these are illustrated on the following slide. Rubber applications include tires, gaskets, and bushings, among others.
| www.3ds.com | Dassault Systmes |

The vast number of applications that use rubber materials necessitates a good understanding of the modeling techniques used to analyze rubber components.
