NONLINEAR FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF ELASTOMERSTechnical Corporation , the worldwide leader in rubber analysis,would like to share some of ourexperiences and expertise in analyzingelastomers with White Paper introduces you to thenonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) of rubber-like polymers generally groupedunder the name elastomers. You mayhave a nonlinear rubber problem andnot even know Paper is primarily intended for twotypes of readers:ENGINEERING MANAGERSwho areinvolved in manufacturing of elastomericcomponents, but do not currently possessnonlinear FEA tools, or who may have aneducational/professional backgroundother than mechanical ENGINEERSwho are perhaps familiar with linear, or even nonlinear,FEA concepts, but would like to knowmore about analyzing is assumed that the reader is familiarwith basic principles in

3 This white paper discusses the salient features regarding the mechanics and finite element analysis (FEA) of elastomers. Although the main focus of the paper is
