Hello,

I posted the same question in the "Concrete Testing Engineering" forum because the pads detailed below are the same ones used for concrete cylinder tests.

We are using 6" dia., 0.5" thick Duro50 and Duro70 (Shore A) Neoprene pads for various boundary conditions on a test structure in our lab. We have already obtained force vs. displacement plots using our UTM (to obtain pad vertical stiffness values) and were looking for some published/manufacturer plots (or values) to compare with.

Thanks!
