Abstract
Abstract When a cylinder of small diameter-height ratio is compressed, it buckles. A theory has been developed by Haringx to describe this, based on the Euler theory of struts. This paper shows how Haringx's theory is applicable to the compression of rubber and to cylinders of moderate shape factor, which do not visibly buckle, and relates the changes in the shear modulus of a rubber which is compressed, to the degree of compression and the shape factor of the cylinder.
