Abstract:In this paper, a mathematical model for determining the longitudinal and transverse forces (reactions) of an arched elastomeric shock absorber when it is loaded along two axes (compression and transverse displacement of the supporting surfaces) is proposing. The reactions are presented as the sum of independent forces created by its two elastomeric walls. The webs are considered as beams that work in compression, bending and transverse shear, and can also lose stability. The model is phenomenological in nature… Show more
