Rubber mound designed to reduce noise due to vibration (Silent block - Rubber block): Method for dimensioning as first approximation for free rubber and vulcanized rubber on the inner tube. Application automotive, light and heavy vehicles.

This publication aims to provide to the designer a method for sizing, as first approximation, of rubber-metal systems. It allows not only to determine the geometry, but also the main functional characteristics, as well as the definition of the tolerance ranges usual for this type of product.The document has been drafted in the hypothesis of small displacements in order to minimize the effect of the non linearities of the rubber. We use correction factors in the formulas whose performance is...
