Q1) A flexible connection consisting of rubber 9 mm) bonded to steel plates is shown in the pads (thickness 7 = figure. The pads are 160 mm long and 80 mm wide. = (a) Find the average shear strain Yaver in the rubber if the force P 16 kN and the shear modulus for the rubber is G=1250 kPa. (b) Find the relative horizontal displacement & between the interior plate and the outer plates. P 22 22 160 mm- Rubber pad X P Rubber pad X 80 mm- t=9 mm t=9 mm Section X-X
