Thisinvestigation is focused on the capability of lower strain rate testing procedures, such as relaxation tests, toestimate and extrapolate the dynamic behavior of rubber bushings from low to moderate frequencies. FractionalZener models are employed to approach bushing behavior in experimental relaxation tests, thus leading toa linear viscoelastic model which is employed to estimate the dynamic behavior of rubber bushing underharmonics loads up to 150 Hz. The validation of this extrapolation procedure is performed by comparing theseanalytical results with experimental dynamic harmonic tests applied to the same rubber bushings. The deviationbetween both curves demonstrates that it is difficult to compare the behavior from very small deformation rates(relaxation tests) to higher deformation rates (harmonic dynamic tests) due to the nonlinear behavior of therubber and its amplitude dependence. However, this investigation demonstrates that the relaxation tests containenough data to define the frequency behavior of linear viscoelastic materials up to moderate frequencies PB Elsevier SN 2590-1230 YR 2023 FD 2023-10 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10259/8302 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10259/8302 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos RD 12-may-2024
