Analysis of Forced Vibration Damping With the Use of Hyperplastic Materials

Abstract

A solution of forced vibration damping through the use of hyperelastic materials have been proposed in the paper. Most structures can be easily simulated on the basis of a linear elastic material model. However, when linear elasticity ceases to be sufficient, then nonlinear models are adopted, e.g. hyperelastic materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of the structure under the influence of external forces with the use of materials showing high fatigue resistance to compression with simultaneous consideration of vibration damping. The model presented in the paper has been subjected to an excitation in form of displacement. The paper presents a dynamic analysis using the finite element method in the ANSYS program. The comparison concerned the use of hyperelastic materials with the use of the deformation energy model of hyperelastic incompressible materials according to the Mooney-Rivlin model.
