RESEARCH ON DYNAMIC AND STATIC STIFFNESS CHARACTERISTICS OF MESH ELASTIC PAD by ZHAO Feng, HE ZhenXing, SHI GuangTian, CHEN QingChao, ZHOU HuaLong, WANG BinCang

“…Aiming at a new type of honeycomb mesh-type elastic cushion plate structure,a three-dimensional finite element model was established,and the mechanical properties of rubber material were simulated by super-elastic and viscoelastic constitutive models. Under the condition that the material parameters of elastic cushion plate were unchanged,the effects of the change of key parameters such as mesh thickness and aperture on the dynamic and static stiffness of mesh-type elastic cushion plate were studied,and the traditional groove elastic cushion plate was compared. …”
