METHOD FOR ESTIMATING OF DEFORMATIONS AND STRESSES OF A SEGMENT OF A HYDRAULIC MOUNT SHELL
The article considers a method for estimating deformations and stresses of a rectangular rod of equivalent rigidity reduced to a segment of the hydraulic mount shell. This method is necessary for calculating the stiffness of the elastic shell of hydraulic mounts by the finite element method. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety margin of the rubber shell since with an increase in the resulting vibration the service life of the hydraulic mounts decreases which leads to its destruction.
