Problem 1.7-8 An elastomeric bearing pad consisting of two steel plates bonded to a chloroprene elastomer (an artificial rubber) is subjected to a shear force V during a static loading test (see figure). The pad has dimensions a = 125 mm and b = 240 mm, and the elas- tomer has thickness t = 50 mm. When the force V equals 12 kN, the top plate is found to have displaced laterally 8.0 mm with respect to the bottom plate. What is the shear modulus of elasticity G of the chloroprene? %3D

Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1.7-8 An elastomeric bearing pad consisting of two steel
plates bonded to a chloroprene elastomer (an artificial rubber) is
subjected to a shear force V during a static loading test (see figure).
The pad has dimensions a = 125 mm and b = 240 mm, and the elas-
tomer has thickness t%= 50 mm. When the force V equals 12 kN, the top
plate is found to have displaced laterally 8.0 mm with respect to the
bottom plate.
What is the shear modulus of elasticity G of the chloroprene?
