Abstract
Performance prediction using computer aided engineering (CAE) is essential for reducing weight and testing costs. For this purpose, the simulation of transient phenomena such as suspension and engine vibration, which requires the accurate representation of the dynamic characteristics of rubber parts, is important. Phan et al. [1] developed an improved rubber material model based on the model proposed by Simo, which is capable of simulating dynamic behavior. This paper examines a parameter identification methodology that provides high accuracy for transient simulation.
