Compressive stress rubber
Compressive stress rubber
Under compressive stress, the limit of linearity is 15% deformation in relation to the rubber layer thickness. Whenever a rubber spring is designed for the compression range, the influence of the form factor must be taken into account. The form factor is the ratio of the action pressure area to the free pressure area of the rubber spring. This is due to the prevented transverse expansion and thus the variable modulus of elasticity c of the incompressible material rubber.
