Can anyone point me to any good references for designing urethane springs or know of any applicable posts in other forums? I've found information in catalogs such as that provided by Sorbothane, but these seem to be geared to helping one decide what might work from their catalog and not how to design a spring from scratch. I'm after a more detailed design guide - like the equivalent of Wahl's handbook available through SMI.
