An orthotropic hyperelastic constitutive model is presented for large deformation analysis of the nonlinear anisotropic hyperelastic material of the cylindrical air-spring shell used in vibroisolation of driver's seat. Nonlinear hyperelastic constitutive equations of orthotropic composite material are incorporated into the finite strain analysis by finite element method (FEM). The results of deformation analysis of the inflated air-spring shell made of composite with rubber matrix reinforced by textile cords are given. Obtained numerical results of deformation corresponding to the experimentally measured deformation of the inflated cylindrical air-spring.


Possible restrictions on isotropic constitutive laws for finitely deformed elastic solids are examined from the standpoint of Hill (1968). This introduced the notion of conjugate pairs of stress and strain measures, whereby families of contending inequalities can be generated. A typical member inequality stipulates that the scalar product of the rates of change of certain conjugate variables is positive in all circumstances. Interrelations between the various inequalities are explored, and some statical implications are established. The discussion depends on several ancillary theorems which are apparently new; these have, in addition, an intrinsic interest in the broad field of basic stress—strain analysis.

We measured the elastic velocities of a synthetic polycrystalline β-Mg2SiO4 containing 0.73 wt.% H2O to 10 GPa and 600 K using ultrasonic interferometry combined with synchrotron X-radiation. Third-order Eulerian finite strain analysis of the high P and T data set yielded Kso = 161.5(2) GPa, Go = 101.6(1) GPa, and (∂Ks/∂P)T = 4.84(4), (∂G/∂P)T = 1.68(2) indistinguishable from Kso = 161.1(3) GPa, Go = 101.4(1) GPa, and (∂Ks/∂P)T = 4.93(4), (∂G/∂P)T = 1.73(2) from the linear fit. The hydration of the wadsleyite by 0.73 wt.% decreases Ks and G moduli by 5.3% and 8.6%, respectively, but no measurable effect was noted for (∂Ks/∂P)T and (∂G/∂P)T. The temperature derivatives of the Ks and G moduli from the finite strain analysis (∂KS/∂T)P = −0.013(2) GPaK−1, (∂G/∂T)P = −0.015(0.4) GPaK−1, and the linear fit (∂KS/∂T)P = −0.015(1) GPaK−1, (∂G/∂T)P = −0.016(1) GPaK−1 are in agreement, and both data sets indicating the |(∂G/∂T)P| to be greater than |(∂KS/∂T)P|. Calculations yield ∆Vp(α-β) = 9.88% and ∆VS(α-β) = 8.70% for the hydrous β-Mg2SiO4 and hydrous α-Mg2SiO4, implying 46–52% olivine volume content in the Earth’s mantle to satisfy the seismic velocity contrast ∆Vs = ∆VP = 4.6% at the 410 km depth.

Accurate analysis of the homogeneous strain of ellipsoidal objects requires that certain premises are met. These are (1) coaxiality of strain increments, (2) accurate definition of finite strain axes, and (3) perfectly passive behaviour of the objects with respect to the matrix. The [Formula: see text] equations provide a mathematical model for this idealized scenario.In practice the analysis is limited to data from plane surfaces, and its success depends upon the type of initial fabric of the objects, the frequency distribution of their initial shapes, and errors of measurement of the final shapes (Rf1/2) and of final orientations [Formula: see text]. Together with the difficulty in locating the finite strain axes, these factors greatly affect the outcome of the analysis, and their combined effects have not been studied previously.Detailed observations on the orientations of strain and of the orientation–distribution of the objects' long axes sometimes indicate that the [Formula: see text] model is incompatible with the data. Strain analysis is then not possible by the present methods. If the data are compatible with the [Formula: see text] model and if the original fabric can be shown to have been random or had a preferred orientation parallel to bedding, it is possible to determine the strain accurately to within a few percent. This has been partly confirmed in practical examples in which the strain has been independently determined using the tectonic distortion of rims of individual clasts.

A viscoelastic model is developed to describe the mechanical response of fiber-reinforced elastomeric composites at large deformation. A continuum approach is used to model the macroscopic mechanical behavior of elastomeric materials reinforced with unidirectional fibers, in which the resin and fibers are regarded as a single homogenized anisotropic material. The anisotropic viscoelastic constitutive model is developed considering transient reversible network theory. An efficient computational algorithm based on micromechanical modeling is proposed to relate the material parameters of constitutive model to the mechanical properties of composite constituents at finite strain. The microstructure is identified by a representative volume element (RVE) and it is subjected to large deformation with considering the conformity of opposite boundaries. The material parameters of the viscoelastic constitutive law are determined based on the response of heterogeneous microstructure which is examined under different loading conditions.
