Abstract
Based on the classical theory of elasticity, an exact expression is derived for the radial stiffness of a cylindrical rubber bush mounting of finite l ength, in terms of modified Bessel functions. From this a convenient approx imate representation is deduced. Some exact and approximate numerical resul ts are compared with the experimental data which are available.
