In　order　to　study　the　effects　of　hysteresis　heat　generation　on　nonlinear　viscoelastic　behaviors　of　rubber　materials,　a　pair　of　squeezing　and　rolling　steel-rubber　roller　was　studied.　Firstly,　the　decoupling　method　was　adopted　for　the　first　transient　mechanics　field　analysis,　and　then　the　heat　generation　rates　of　the　nodes　were　calculated　by　the　losses.　Finally,　the　late　heat　generation　was　used　as　the　internal　heat　sources　for　thermal　analysis　to　obtain　the　steady-state　temperature　field　distribution.　The　results　show　that　the　temperature　rises　of　hysteresis　of　rubber　roller　are　as　6~13.　Along　the　circumferential　direction,　the　highest　temperature　appears　on　both　ends.　Along　the　radial　direction,　the　highest　temperature　appears　on　the　center.　The　simulation　results　are　consistent　with　the　experimental　ones　which　pro　ides　the　feasibility　of　the　analysis　method,　and　the　hysteresis　heat　generation　is　the　main　heat-producing　factor　in　the　movement　processes.　©　2019,　China　Mechanical　Engineering　Magazine　Office.　All　right　reserved.
