摘要
橡膠層墊是由多層橡膠片黏著於薄鋼片之間所構成,由於在水平方向具有低勁度,
橡膠層墊用於橋樑工程以容許因溫度變化所產生的伸縮,也被用於基底隔震以減少建築 物因地震造成的振動。橡膠層墊須具有垂直向的剛性以承受上部結構的載重,而垂向的 剛性則來自於橡膠片的側向變位受制於所黏著的鋼片,如果橡膠片的黏著應力超過其強 度,橡膠片和鋼片的黏界面將開裂,導致橡膠承墊不穩定,而無法支承上部結構,因此 受鋼片束制之橡膠片的壓縮勁度和黏著應力在橡膠層墊的設計中極為重要。本研究計劃 的目的乃是去探討長方形橡膠層墊受到軸向壓力的壓縮勁度與所產生的黏著應力。研究 所用的分析模型是一長方形彈性層,其上下面分別黏著於一剛性板,根據兩個變形的基 本假設,利用彈性力學理論,求解出受剛性板束制之長方形彈性層的壓縮勁度公式與黏 著面的應力公式。所用的第一個變形假設為﹕平行於剛性板的平面斷面,在變形後仍然 保持一平面。第二個變形假設為﹕垂直於剛性板的直線,在變形後成為一拋物線。所推 導出理論公式適用範圍將不受柏松比與形狀係數的限制。本計劃亦將利用有限元素分析 法來証明所推導出理論公式的精確性。

Abstract
Laminated rubber bearings consist of thin sheets of rubber layers bonded to interleaving steel shims. Because of their low stiffness in horizontal direction, laminated rubber bearings are utilized in bridge engineering to allow temperature deformation and in base isolation to reduce building vibration induced by earthquakes. Laminated rubber bearings must possess sufficient rigidity to sustain the gravity loading of superstructures. The vertical rigidity is supplied from the restricted lateral expansion of rubber layers bonded with steel shims. If the bonding stress of rubber layers is larger than its strength, the bonding interface between rubber layers and steel shims will crack, which makes the laminated rubber bearing becomes unstable and cannot sustain the superstructure. Therefore, the compression stiffness and the bonding stress of rubber layers bonded by steel shims are very important for the design of laminated rubber bearings. The purpose of this research project is to study the stiffness and the bonding stresses developed under axial compression in rectangular laminated rubber bearings. The theoretical model is a rectangular elastic layer bonded between two rigid plates.
The compression stiffness of the bonded rectangular elastic layer and the bonding stress at the interface between the elastic layer and the rigid plate will be solved by the theory of elasticity based on the two kinematics assumptions. The first assumption is that plane sections parallel to rigid plates remain plane after deformation. The second assumption is that vertical lines normal to rigid plates become parabolic after deformation. The derived compression stiffness and bonding stress will applicable to any value of Poisson’s ratio and shape factor. This project will apply the finite element method to verify the accuracy of the derived formulae.
Keyword: Laminated rubber bearing, Compression stiffness, Bonding stress.
1. Introduction
When an elastic layer is bonded between two rigid plates, the rigid plates can restrict the lateral expansion of the elastic layer and result in the bonded elastic layer having higher compression stiffness than the elastic layer without bonding. The effect becomes more dramatic when Poisson’s ratio of the elastic layer is near 0.5. This characteristic has been adopted in the design of laminated elastomeric bearings that consist of many elastomeric layers bonded to interleaving steel plates. Laminated elastomeric bearings, employed in many fields such as seismic isolation, can provide high vertical rigidity to sustain gravity loading, while still providing the same horizontal flexibility as elastomer.
To analyze the stiffness of bonded layers, two kinematics assumptions are usually adopted: (i) planes parallel to the rigid bonding plates before deformation remain planar after loading; (ii) lines normal to the rigid bonding plates before deformation become parabolic after loading. Gent and Lindley (1959) derived the compression stiffness of an incompressible elastic layer for infinite-strip shape and circular shape. Subsequently, Gent and Meinecke (1970) extended this method to analyze the compression stiffness and tilting stiffness of incompressible elastic layers for square and other shapes.
Although rubber can be treated as incompressible in some analyses, the assumption of incompressibility tends to overestimate the compression stiffness and tilting stiffness of the bonded rubber layer when the layer's shape factor (defined as the ratio of the one bonded area to the force-free area) is high. Kelly (1997) developed a ‘pressure solution’ approach to derive the compression stiffness and the tilting stiffness considering the effect of bulk compressibility. The solutions are available for the layers of infinite-strip shape (Chalhoub and Kelly, 1991), circular shape (Chalhoub and Kelly, 1990) and square shape (Kelly, 1997).
Lindley (1979a) applied an energy method to derive the compression stiffness of the infinite-strip and circular shapes as well as the tilting stiffness of the infinite-strip shape (Lindley, 1979b) for the material of any Poisson's ratio. Koh and Kelly (1989) utilized a
‘variable transform’ approach to derive the compression stiffness of the square shape for compressible material. Koh and Lim (2001) extended this approach to solve the compression stiffness of the rectangular shape.
The stiffness of bonded layers is related to the vertical stress, which can be derived from the mean pressure. Tsai and Lee (1998 and 1999) developed a pressure approach to derive the compression stiffness and tilting stiffness of bonded elastic layers in infinite-strip, circular and square shapes. Recently, Tsai (2003) presented an approach to analyze the tilting stiffness of the circular shape by solving displacement directly. These solutions are accurate for the material of any Poisson's ratio.
To reduce the weight and the cost of laminated elastomeric bearings, the steel plates can be replaced by fiber reinforcement. In contrast to the steel reinforcement that is assumed to be rigid, the fiber reinforcement is flexible in extension. The compression stiffness and tilting
stiffness of fiber-reinforced bearings in infinite-strip, circular and rectangular shapes are derived by assuming the elastomeric layer is incompressible and the reinforcement is flexible (Kelly, 1999; Tsai and Kelly, 2001, 2002a, 2002b). Recently, bulk compressibility is also included in the stiffness analysis of fiber-reinforced bearings of the infinite-strip shape (Kelly, 2002; Kelly and Takhirov, 2002).
In this paper, the pressure approach by Tsai and Lee (1998) is extended to solve the compression stiffness of the rectangular layers bonded between rigid plates. Being different from the solution of Koh and Lim (2001) that is a double-series closed form, the present solution is a single-series closed form and has faster convergence. The displacements of the elastic layer and the bonding shear stresses on the interface of the elastic layer and the rigid plate are also derived. To verify the exactness of the theoretical solutions, finite element analyses are carried out, where the eight-node solid elements with incompatible bending modes is applied to model the elastic layer.
2. Solution of pressure
A rectangular layer of linearly elastic, homogeneous and isotropic material bonded between two rigid plates is shown in Fig. 1 where a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z) is located at the center of the layer. The elastic layer has a thickness of t, a width of 2a along the x-axis, and a length of 2b along the y-axis. Under a compression force in the z direction, the displacements of the elastic layer, u, v and w along the x, y and z directions respectively, can be assumed to have the form

The square-layer solution of Tsai and Lee (1998) is also plotted in Fig. 2. These figures reveal that the present solution is very close to the finite element solution and the previous published results, which indicate that applying the approximate shear boundary conditions in Eqs. (15) and (16) to derive the effective compression modulus is acceptable.
To study the effect of aspect ratio, the ratio of the effective compression modulus of the rectangular layer in Eq. (40) to the effective compression modulus of the infinite-strip layer

difference between the square layer (a/b=1) and the infinite-strip layer (a/b=0), if these bonded elastic layers have the same shape factor. Therefore, the solution of infinite-strip layer in Eq. (42) can be revised as

In this range, the error of the effective compression modulus calculated from Eq. (44) is smaller than 1.7%.
To study the convergence of the series solution in Eq. (40), let Ec(k) denote the value of
E using the first k terms of the series in Eq. (40). Regarding c Ec(50) as the converged solution, the ratio of E to c(1) Ec(50) is plotted in Fig. 5 for the rectangular layer of a/b=0.5 to depict the error of E . For the range of c(1) 1≤ S≤100, the maximum error of E is about c(1) 6%. The error of the solution by Koh and Lim (2001), which is also plotted in the figure, is lager than the present solution. Since the Koh-Lim solution is a double series form, Ec(k) means the value of E which uses the first k terms in each series of the Koh-Lim solution, c i.e., Ec(k,k). As illustrated in Fig. 6, the maximum error of Ec(2) for the present solution is about 2%. The error of the Koh-Lim solution plotted in this figure is higher than that reported in the paper of Koh and Lim (2001) where they mistook Ec(2,10) for Ec(2,2).
