摘要：The Elastomeric rubber is a good energy absorbing device with spring back effect. The effectiveness of anyform of rubber depends on its strength and stiffness which cannot be varied beyond a certain limit by using chemicaladditives alone. So, the elastomeric rubber has to be reinforced by adding a material that is normally stronger andstiffer than rubber. In this paper, the usual problem of vulcanization of rubber was overcome by selecting carbon fibersas the filler material. The unidirectional property of carbon fibers gives it the ability to be oriented in any desireddirection, thus imparting required properties. The material was modeled as a composite beam structure initially usingthe ANSYS software and dynamic analysis was performed to find out the fundamental mode of vibration. A Testspecimen was then fabricated according to ASTM standards and experimental investigations were carried out.Mechanical properties of the material such as tensile strength, compression strength, flexure strength and impactstrength were obtained from the experimental investigation. The test results of the carbon fiber laminated elastomericrubber were then compared with ordinary elastomeric rubber with usual additives and it was found to be superior in allaspects.
