This course is designed for the practicing mechanical engineer and automotive component designer and covers materials such as rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers which are commonly used to develop vibration isolators, bushings, seals, o-rings, gaskets etc. Rubber testing is introduced and hyper-elastic material models are discussed in details. Abaqus is used to simulated the materials as non-linear hyper-elastic and viscoelastic. This course includes hands-on workshops sessions with sample problems.
