초록

고무부품의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서 고무재료의 물성파악과 수명평가는 매우 중요하다 하겠다. 본 연구에서는 냉장고 콤프레샤 모터에서 발생되는 소음 및 진동 제어 목적으로 고무마운트에 사용되는 고무재료인 NBR과 EPDM에 대해 상온과 $70^{\circ}C,\;85^{\circ}C,\;100^{\circ}C$에서 75일 동안 노화시킨 상태에서 단축 인장과 이축 인장으로 물성시험을 수행하여 가교밀도, 100% 모듈러스 변화와 응력-변형률 관계를 파악하였다. 또한, 고무소재의 노화수명을 예측하기 위해 가속열 노화시험을 수행하여 시간-온도 환산식인 아레니우스 관계식을 구하였다.

Material characteristics and lifetime evaluation are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of the rubber components. In this paper, the material test and accelerated heat aging test were carried out to predict the useful life of NBR and EPDM rubber mount for a compression motor which is used in a refrigerator. In order to investigate the effects of heat-aging on the material properties, crosslink density, modulus at 100% strain, stress-strain curves were obtained from uniaxial and equi-biaxial tensile tests. The change of compression set were used for assessment of the useful life and the time to threshold value were plotted against the reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot. The useful life at variable temperatures are obtained in the Arrhenius relationship.
