The main objective of the current research is the development of a new mathematical model for the prediction of compression pressure based on the incorporation of some new parameters. These new parameters include deformed width (wf), true stress ([Formula: see text]), true/logarithm strain ([Formula: see text]), true modulus of elasticity ([Formula: see text]), along with measurement of engineering stress ([Formula: see text]), engineering strain ([Formula: see text]) and engineering modulus of elasticity ([Formula: see text]) at ankle position. Various brands of compression socks comprising similar fibrous combinations, as well as knit type, were purchased. Initially they were hand washed, put on the leg for marking, marked in a square, sliced, and cut into rectangular strips. The rectangular cut strips were evaluated for force–elongation characterization at different strain values considering the requisite practical elongation values (circumferential difference between leg and sock at ankle portion). For pressure measurement, a Salzmann MST MK IV pressure measuring device using a standard-sized wooden leg (circumference = 240 mm) was used. For tensile evaluation, a Testometric tensile tester was used. In this research we developed the two mathematical models based on true Young’s modulus and engineering Young’s modulus were compared with Hooke’s law and Laplace’s law. The developed models were also compared with previously existing models statistically.
Article deals with measurement and modelling of damping force of polyurethane foam specimen being compressed. The specimens were taken from car seats and differ by material density. For modelling of damping force during harmonical kinematical excitation the explicit formula is used. Its parameters are found by means of method based on evaluation of energy dissipated during one loading cycle and also on evaluation of position of damping force extreme.
Abstract. This paper focuses on FEM simulation model of pneumatic spring implemented into cushioning of a car seat. This spring is a part of a device which ensures controlled change pressure distribution in contact zone between car seat and passenger. This spring made up from silicone and foam parts and from the tape. In this article, the material properties of these materials are experimentally investigated in order to get parameters for their mathematical models implemented in FEM software MSC.Marc. The simulation of the spring is then carried out with changing internal pressure.
The paper describes a complex experimental research of tribological and mechanical properties of styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) filled with carbon black. Tribological properties of SBR rubber material are investigated experimentally using a home made device of ball-on-disc type. The response of SBR in sliding friction depends on sliding speed and on the loading force. The rate-dependent behaviour of carbon-black filled rubber is investigated in tensile tests with different loading rates and in relaxation tests. The viscosity-induced rate-dependent effects are described. The storage and loss moduli and phase angle δ dependency on different amplitudes and frequencies are determined by strain controlled dynamical mechanical analysis. The temperature dependence of dynamic and tribological behaviour of SBR is also investigated.
