The rubber bushing is the key component to suppress vibration in the suspension system, an accurate constitutive model of rubber bushing should capture the amplitude and frequency dependency. Based on the lumped parameter model, three types of rubber bushing models are applied and compared, including the common Kelvin-Voigt model. To evaluate the model parameter and suitable frequency range, the quasi-static and dynamic tests have been performed. Comparing with the testing result, the fractional Kelvin-Voigt model combined with Berg’s friction has the minimum relative error of dynamic stiffness on the whole. Finally, two examples of chassis bushing under different loading conditions are presented. The rubber force and deflection are analyzed in both the time domain and the frequency domain, and the results show the difference of stiffness and hysteresis loop relative to frequency.
