Rubber Bushing in Ansys

[Chouine]

Hello,

I'm trying to model a rubber bushing in Ansys using a viscoelastic element with curve fitting Data.

I am wondering where to get the Shear Stress Constants in function of time as well as the Bulk modulus in function of time.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Chouine,

The easiest way to get those time functions is to perform stress relaxation experiments. If that is no option you can always use approximate values from the literature.
