Abstract:

In this study, the mechanical behavior of the shell part that allows the movement to be transmitted in the engine through the trigger tape was studied and verified by experiments by the method of the final elements. Single-axis drawing and sliding experiments have been carried out to create the hyperelastic material models used in the analysis of rubber materials by the method of final elements. With the results obtained from these experiments, the hyperelastic material ratings have been calculated and verified. The verified material model has been modeled by the shell geometry and the various shell angles under the field changes, stretches and moments caused by the shell have been studied. To verify the accuracy of the casting analyses, the casting test device has also been designed and manufactured. After testing the results obtained by the used material model and analysis method, geometric improvements on the shell geometry have been made, in the same charging conditions, the stretching stairs on the rubber material have been reduced and the shell’s life has been extended.
