För att kunna utföra simuleringar och beräkningar på gummikomponenter behövs matematiska modeller som beskriver responsen för gummi vid olika typer av belastningar. Dessa modeller innehåller materialkonstanter, och dessa tas fram med hjälp av experimentella tester. I dagsläget görs alltid en hårdhetstest på gummi för att klassificera hur hårt (eller mjukt) ett gummi är. Detta utförs genom att trToday rubber can be found in many different applications, such as vibration dampers, tyres, clothes and gaskets.

The YOMI program consists of 10 d
