Sustainable of Laminated Rubber-Metal Spring in Transverse Vibration

This paper presents the sustainable of laminated rubber-metal spring (LR-MS) in transverse vibration. The free-fixed boundary condition, longitudinal and rotational force are chosen to represents the transverse behavior of the LR-MS model. The mathematical model is developed and finally the dynamic stiffness matrix for all elements inside the LR-MS are obtained. By using the dynamic stiffness matrix for each element in LR-MS model, the prediction of stiffness level during transverse vibration are determined. Furthermore, it was pointed the comparison of stiffness level between all elements when the forces apply. Finally, the mathematical model developed in this study is accomplished to represent the stiffness level of LR-MS model in actual value when transverse vibration occurred.
