Hello
I am working on a lower Control arm bushing (Horizontal and Vertical orientation), trying to figure out how to size the bushing, the material I am using is Natural Rubber, I have the joint loads from ADAMS.The bushing I am using is Inner metal sleeve , rubber material and outer metal sleeve.
In horizontal orientation I am using Torsinal loads as determing factor to calculate minimum rubber thickness and other bushing parameters
But I have no idea about Vertical orientation what formulas should I be using
Any help would be appreciated
In short my question is how to size pivot bushings when loads are known
Thanks a lot
