This article describes the simulation setup and the development of a simulation method for modeling the self-heating of cyclic-loaded rubber components within the well-known ABAQUS FE environment.

Based on initial considerations on the kinematics of a simple shear deformation our purpose is to implement the self heating of elastomers under cyclic loading depending on the temperature-dependent properties of elastomers within the finite element system ABAQUS [4].
