Abstract

See full text

An elastomer damper including an elastomeric member laminated between two rigid plates. The elastomeric member having a first elastomer mating surface, a second elastomer mating surface, and a peripheral edge extending between each of the elastomer mating surfaces. Each elastomer mating surface is coupled to a respective rigid plate. At least a section of the peripheral surface is formed comprising a concave arch formed comprising one of a quarter ellipse or a dual quarter ellipse. The concave arch extends substantially between the elastomer mating surfaces. The concave arch shape reduces tearing of the elastomer damper. The dual quarter ellipse is formed by combining a first elongated first quarter ellipse and a second elongated first quarter ellipse in a continuous concave arched shape.
