Engineering with rubber - how to design rubber components - 2nd edition

This book describes the principles of rubber science and technology. It describes what rubber consists of, how it behaves, and how to design engineering components with rubber. The sections include: an introduction (D L Hertz); materials and compounds (G R Hamed); elasticity (A N Gent); dynamic mechanical properties (A N Gent and K W Scott); strength (G J Lake and A G Thomas); mechanical fatigue (M D Ellul); durability (A Stevenson and R Campion); design of components, including shear and compression bearings, and vibration and noise control (P M Sheridan, F O James and T S Miller); finite element analysis (R H Finney); and tests and specifications (J G Sommer and Oon Hock Yeoh). An appendix provides tables of physical constants.
