METHOD FOR SIMULATING RUBBER MATERIAL

摘要

Provided is a method that is useful for accurately setting a rubber material model for a simulation from an actual rubber material and obtaining a high-accuracy calculation result. A method for simulating a rubber material containing a filler comprises a measurement step (S1) for measuring scattering data relating to X-rays and/or neutron in the rubber material, a visualization step (S2) for specifying the three-dimensional structure of the filler in the rubber material through a reverse Monte Carlo method from the scatteri ng data, model setti ng steps (S3 to S6) for setti ng a rubber material model on the basis of the three-dimensional structure of the filler, and a step for performing a deformation simulation on the basis of the rubber material model, wherein in the measurement step, obtaining the scattering data with a scattering vector (q) within the range of 10 -4 nm -1 to 10nm -1 .
