          • Friction Formulation

            This section provides information about the LuGre and Dahl formulations for friction.

          • Mount Stiffness

            The bodies connected by the bushing are flexible and may deflect under the load being transmitted. This phenomenon is modeled with the Mount Stiffness feature. Mount stiffness models the structural stiffness of the bodies, thus mounting the bushing as a linear spring and damper in series with the bushing in each direction.

          • Mount Limits

            The Altair Bushing Model includes a Mount Limits feature, which lets you model the material contact that occurs between the bodies that a bushing connects. The bodies are flexible and may deflect under the load being transmitted. Given enough bushing deflection, the bodies may contact one another for negative and positive deflections in each direction.

          • Preload, Offset, and Scale

            This section describes how preloads, offsets and scales enter into bushing force computations. You use Preloads, Offsets and Scales to alter the operating point of a bushing. You can offset the bushing displacement in any direction, and scale the input displacement and velocity. You can also offset the bushing force in any direction by adding a preload or scale-output force or moment in any direction.

          • Coupling

            Coupling refers to the forces and moments generated in a bushing to oppose the overall deformation of the bushing. These forces and moments are independent of any coordinate system that might be used to measure the deformation or deformation velocity. Coupling is an important factor when the bushing characteristics are non-linear.

          • Validate Test Data in the SPD File

            The System Performance Data file, *.spd, contains the test data used for fitting a bushing. This data should be validated to ensure that it is physically meaningful. One test for physical consistency is that the dynamic stiffness at any amplitude of vibration must always be greater than the static stiffness at the same amplitude.
