Abstract
A variety of rubber dampers are available, these having been designed over the years through approximate methods of analyses and based on the experience drawn from their operation over the years. Behavior of rubbers, polymers and elastomers is highly non-linear posing difficulties in the analyses. Although the behavior of rubber blends have been researched in the past decades, its behavior in high strain range has attracted the attention of researchers only in the recent past. In the present work, the characterization of natural rubber and high performance SB rubber under severe dynamic compression loading is carried out based on the material response curves provided by recent researchers using material models. With a view to examining the feasibility of using these rubber formulations, these material models are then applied to the case of dynamically compression-loaded dampers in the high strain rate regimes. The discrepancies in the results obtained by utilizing the different material models are discussed in detail.
