Abstract
This paper describes the strategy for design of rubber components and
focuses on the role and limitations of finite element stress analysis.
The sensitivity of results to operating conditions is illustrated for
various applications including engine mounts. This can amount to in e
xcess of 20 % variance, which has a significant bearing on planning ph
ysical testing work and prediction of product life.
