Abstract

Classical elasticity theory, together with a knowledge of the behaviour of solid-rubber pads under compression, is employed to predict the force-deflection characteristics of hollow rubber units used as impact absorbers. Various parameters are predicted theoretically and agreement with theory is found to be satisfactory for a wide range of shapes and ratios of cross-sectional dimensions.
