Question

A vibration damper unit is composed of a rubber cylinder of diameter d compressed inside of a wrought-iron cylinder by a force F applied to the steel rod. Develop, in terms of d, F, and Poisson’s ratio ν for the rubber, the following expression for the lateral pressure p between the rubber and the wrought-iron cylinder. Compute the value of 𝑝 for the following data:

𝑑 = 63.5 𝑚𝑚, 𝜈 =0.5, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹 = 9 𝑘𝑁.
