Bells are exposed to severe loading conditions during ringing. In a simplified model was set up the clapper was replaced by a cylinder that was dropped against a block representing the bell. In the article the synthesis of a finite-element model for simulating the cylinder-drop test is presented and he results of the finite-element simulations are compared to the experimental data.

The article deals with experimental evaluation and analytical modelling of creep, relaxation and low cycle fatigue of a rubber mixture that is used in the production of air springs. The developed model enables the description of the creep and relaxation of rubber at various temperatures after only few tests. Thus the time needed to characterize creep and relaxation shortens considerably.
