doughnuts is as follows:-
where K= stiffness
D= external diameter
d= internal diameter
t= thickness
Now for a Durometer reading of 70 which unfortunately is not listed, however for a shore hardness of
65 (shore A) the Youngs modulus is given as 830 lbf/in^2 and for 75 the Youngs modulus is given as
1340 lbf/in^2 these figures are based on natural rubber (above 48 IRHD) with SRF black filler. Now for
little "k" the numerical factor above, is given as 0.54 for shore hardness 65 and 0.52 for 75.
Note also that average design limits are 15%compression and 50% shear.
