I am pleased to invite you to Robert Luo's presentation.

The Square-root function for prediction … or
Simulation and Validation on the Idealized Mullins Effect

It is well known that the loading path and the unloading path, in antivibration applications using rubber-to-metal bonded components, is different (Mullins Effect). The most challenging issue is that to obtain the correct response, a data fitting procedure must be performed to find the suitable values for the parameters used in each industrial design case from current methods. The Square-root Rule approach is developed to solve this issue without reference to the tested curve. The physical rubber property, the Rebound Resilience, is used to describe the energy change that causes different loading and unloading paths. Below is the predicted and tested response for the XK mount used in industry.
