Comparison of Different Data Acquisition Techniques for Shape Optimization Problems

Description

Non-linear FEM calculations are indispensable when
important technical information like operating performance of a
rubber component is desired. For example rubber bumpers built into
air-spring structures may undergo large deformations under load,
which in itself shows non-linear behavior. The changing contact
range between the parts and the incompressibility of the rubber
increases this non-linear behavior further. The material
characterization of an elastomeric component is also a demanding
engineering task.
The shape optimization problem of rubber parts led to the study of
FEM based calculation processes. This type of problems was posed
and investigated by several authors. In this paper the time demand of
certain calculation methods are studied and the possibilities of time
reduction is presented.
