Energy Dissipation Characteristics and Dynamic Modeling of the Coated Damping Structure for Metal Rubber of Bellows

A novel coated damping structure for metal rubber (MR) of bellows is designed based on large-size metal rubber sheets. This structure is dynamically tested in the bending direction at normal temperature. According to the test results, a model of the nonlinear elastic restoring force is set up, which...
