Tensile Tests for the Improvement of Adhesion between Rubber and Steel Layers in Elastomeric Isolators

Steel reinforced elastomeric isolators are currently the most used bearings for seismic isolation purposes. The steel reinforcements are cut to the desired shape, sandblasted, cleaned with acid, and coated with bonding compound during the manufacturing process. Then the elastomer and steel layers ar...
