Abstract:Rubber antivibration products are widely used in engineering structures. An accurate evaluation on fatigue performance is a challenging issue during a design procedure. In this article, an effective stress approach was applied to multi-directional snubbing (MDS) mounts, AE2 and AE42 specimens. It was demonstrated that observed fatigue cracks were initiated at a place where the maximum effective stress was located. There were confirmed strong correlations between the effective stress and the number of failed cy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
