Abstract
Conventional method evaluating rubber material property is the least square method. However, there are some problems such as low precision and tedious pre-solving process. In this study, we propose a simple but powerful method to estimate rubber material property using the successive zooming genetic algorithm (SZGA)[2]. This method results in dependable and precise rubber property for various Mooney-Rivlin models by simple change of the objective function only. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed method, we compared it with the Haines & Wilson's method, MARC, and ABAQUS.
