Rubber automotive bushings have static deflection curves that can be measured in up to 6 axes depending upon the geometry. This presentation will:

• show examples of test equipment used for measuring the static rate in each direction
• go over examples on how to tool and configure bushings for servo-hydraulic type testing
• review test input requests such as loading speed and pre-cycles 
• touch on sample load vs deflection curves 
• discuss stiffness Ks analysis methods 
• show pre-cycles to remove the Mullins effect 
• provide machine corrections for tooling stiffness
• share strategies for measuring very stiff suspension bushings

This is a two-part webinar series, with the second part covering Dynamic Testing of Automotive Bushings on January 16, 2025. Your registration covers access to both webinars. 

You will receive a Zoom Link to both webinars ahead of time.
