Abstract: Abstract Base on the nonlinear finite element analysis method, FEA models which describe the viscoelastic friction contact state of the rubber pretension structure were created, and the method that using interference fit to simulate the rubber pretension was introduced. In the simulations, the method to ascertain the nearly imcompressible volume behavior of rubber materials, the element mesh techniques and choices of element type and contact stiffness were discussed, furthermore, the influence caused by friction factors on contact pressure and pretension of rubber pretension structure was studied. As a result, the rule of the relaxation of the rubber pretension was recognized. Via compared with the result got by experiments, the rationality of these computing methods was validated and the hints of researching the optimization of rubber pretension was given.
