Simulation Study on the Performance of a Rubber-type Torsional Vibration Damper

Abstract

In order to analyze utility and assembly performance of the torsional vibration damper, an engine of a rubber-type torsional vibration damper as the research object, the finite element model was established by ABAQUS software, and the torsional vibration damper rubber ring press-in process, slip process, pushing-out process was simulated, and compared with the experimental results. Study on the simulation and experimental results challenge that the deviation between the experimental value and the simulated value of the three parameters, the press-in forces, slip torque and pushing-out forces is less than 10%, and it could be identified that the established finite element model and simulation method have high reliability, and have certain guiding function for the design of the rubber-type torsional vibration damper.
