Abstract
The purpose of this study was to show the hardness effect on natural rubber compound to KNF 800 (cone type marine fender) performance. The fender performance of the KNF 800 can be analyzed using the compression loading method with a deflection of up to 70%. Methods on this study using explicit dynamic on Abaqus student software. fender material using natural rubber with 4 variations of hardness and analysis using yeoh 3rd order material. The results of the analysis are then compared with the actual test of compression. Based on the result of the analysis, if the hardness of natural rubber compound increase, the reaction force of KNF 800 increase.
