Rubber-cord cushions application in modern engeineeging

Abstract

Advantages of rubber as a construction material are considered. Method of calculation such basic characteristics as the geometric dimensions, static deflection, natural frequencies, stiffness, vibration isolation and damping properties of rubber-cord cushions working under pressure is described. Rubber-cord cushions most typical use as shock absorbers, antivibration mounts, flexible couplings, flexible hoses and pipe work are presented. Less typical design solutions are also shown with describing their benefits.
