Abstract

A computational analysis of the stiffness characteristics of a combined support, consisting of sequentially connected rubber bearing and spring elements, is presented, performed within the framework of a theoretical methodology. To investigate the stiffness behavior of the proposed support and to verify the theoretical calculations, a numerical analysis was carried out for both the hybrid support as a whole and the helical spring constituting one of its components. The finite element method (FEM) was employed as the primary tool for numerical simulation. The results obtained from the analysis demonstrate that the existing theoretical approaches, when applied to this problem, require refinement and adjustment. For the examined types of supports, it is proposed to use stiffness ratio parameters as corrective coefficients, which can provide a more accurate representation of the mechanical behavior of the combined support system.
