The mechanics of laminated rubber bearings
Material type:
TextPublication details: Journal of Natural Rubber Research 1993Description: 260-274Subject(s): Summary: A study of the behaviour of laminated rubber bearings is described with particular emphasis on important aspects concerned with seismic isolation. Theory with supporting experimental data are given which describe the effect of compressive load on damping and the height reduction behaviour of a bearing under combined compression and shear. A study of shear stiffness and the tilting of individual rubber layers in a bearing is also described, and indicates that a departure from the normal linear shear stiffness behaviour occurs at large deformations, and that cavitation is responsible.

A study of the behaviour of laminated rubber bearings is described with particular emphasis on important aspects concerned with seismic isolation. Theory with supporting experimental data are given which describe the effect of compressive load on damping and the height reduction behaviour of a bearing under combined compression and shear. A study of shear stiffness and the tilting of individual rubber layers in a bearing is also described, and indicates that a departure from the normal linear shear stiffness behaviour occurs at large deformations, and that cavitation is responsible.
