2009 Second International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Design2009 Second International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Design A Non-linear Finite Element Analysis of Car Engine Mounting System Rubber Components ZHANG Qiang, JIN Xiaoxiong, PENG Wei College of Automobile Engineering Tongji University Shanghai, China zhangqiang1006@yahoo.cn, jinxx@mail.tongji.edu.cn, pengwei1971@mail.tongji.edu.cn Abstract—Taking a certain car engine mounting system rubber destruction is occurred, it will affect vehicle ride comfort components as the research object, the nonlinear finite element seriously. software ABAQUS was used to analyze it. The basic theory of a ABAQUS is considered widely as one of the most hyper-elastic material constitutive was introduced; the method powerful finite element analysis software. It can analyze the for non-linear FEA (Finite Element Analysis) of rubber complexity solid and structural mechanics systems, components was studied in this paper. The geometric model especially for handling large problems and simulating and finite element model of the engine mounting system rubber highly non-linear problems [2]. In this paper, non-linear components were set up. Meanwhile, the non-linear FEA was FEA of car engine mount rubber components was made by carried out. The calculated stres
