Elastomers are ubiquitous and need a robust nonlinear FEA software to develop reliable and high performance designs. Here's a handy infograph that lists the FEA capabilities you need, explores elastomers in action, and discusses cases in which Marc has delivered value with its superior nonlinear FEA capabilities:
For nearly 5 decades, Marc has been at the forefront of nonlinear FEA technology, developing simulation capabilities in sync with advances in elastomer materials and their use in engineering. Here is a brief timeline of enhancements to Marc as related to elastomer modeling: 1970s 1971: Marc, the world's first commercial, nonlinear general-purpose FEA code is …
An automotive supplier was looking to reduce costs and improve product quality by using plastics instead of metals. To do so, they needed to predict the ultimate load of short fiber reinforced plastic (SFRP) parts while considering anisotropy due to the fiber orientation. In order to optimize the structural performance of their product made with …
Elastomers – widely available and low cost – are ubiquitous. They have a long list of properties that make them extremely useful and versatile. For example, they have excellent damping and energy absorption characteristics, flexibility, resiliency, long service life, ability to seal against moisture, heat, and pressure, non-toxic properties, moldability, and variable stiffness. Among elastomers, …
Race-Tec Sealing supplies a large proportion of constant velocity CV boots into motorsports and for high-performance military vehicles. Sports cars, military and off road vehicles – which are often steered at sharper angles, at high speeds, and in the case of the latter, on uneven ground – are quite demanding on CV boots. The boots must …
Guardian Automotive, one of the largest global producers of flat glass, was looking to optimize the manufacturing process of car windows. The purpose was twofold: to meet the time constraints of car manufacturers, and to increase internal efficiency. Charles Courlander, a senior development engineer at Guardian, was part of the team responsible for developing techniques …
