ABSTRACT
In the course of further development of computational predictions of component properties the demand for predictions of the material-response to dynamic loads is increasing. The mounting of vibrant structures is realized by elastomer-materials on a big scale. Examples are engine mounts in the automotive industry. The vibration behaviour and the resulting acoustic emissions affect directly the driving comfort. Current methods to construct such mounts are based upon experiences and possible malfunctions are assessed late. Therefore a computational simulation is useful to influence the development as early as possible.
