Prediction of the Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Subframe Rubber Bushings Using Deep Learning

Subframe rubber bushing play an important role in a vehicle's undercarriage. The subframe is the intermediate structure that sits between the body and the wheels, and is the main part to which the engine, transmission, suspension, and more are attached. Rubber bushing are used to connect this subframe to the body, and they perform a number of important functions. While rubber bushing are durable, they can become worn or damaged over time. To maintain rubber bushing, mathematical modeling and physical equations are often used to predict and evaluate the static and dynamic properties of rubber. However, the problem is that it takes a long time to predict the properties of rubber bushing. Therefore, this research uses deep learning models MLP, LSTM, and TCN to predict rubber bushing properties and compare their performance in order to reduce the prediction time. TCN performed the best.
