Abstract
A theoretical analysis of bonded rubber blocks with circular cross-section under axial compression is obtained by the use of dynamic-relaxation solutions of classical elastic stress-strain equations. The Poisson's ratio ν for rubber is close to 0.5 which causes difficulties in the analysis because the general stress-strain equations of elasticity contain terms such as νE/(1 + ν)(1 − 2ν) which approaches infinity when ν approaches a value of 0.5. The range of ν considered varies between 0.45000 and 0.49990 which covers all the natural-rubber compounds used, including pure natural gum which has a ν value of 0.49989 (1)∗.Keywords
