This module will estimate the small displacement (1 - 5%) compression stiffness for rubber pads. Cylindrical, conical and curved conicals can be modeled with user input ID, OD, height, and edge/side contours. The top and bottom surfaces can be bonded to rigid members or free. A deformed plot with the rz shear stain plots is also given. A small strain linear FE model is used.
Comparison to Gent/Lindley methods.
