Özet

 

This study presents experimental test methods and a non-contact DIC-based method for measuring deformation to understand how different rubber materials behave when stretched. Additionally, different hyperelastic material models (such as Mooney–Rivlin, Ogden, and Yeoh) were tested to see how well they matched the full-field deformation data we collected. We determined the most suitable material model and its parameters by comparing the experimental data with the numerical model results. A finite element (FEM) simulation of the fuel hose clamping process, common in cars, used a best-fit hyperelastic material model. The simulation examined how stress and deformation were distributed during clamping. The study found that the DIC-based method is an effective way to accurately understand elastomer behavior and model real engineering processes using numerical methods.
