In this paper, the tensile stiffness and deformation of laminated rubber bearing is investigated based on the research and test results. ISO 22762 and JIS K 6410 are not providing the tensile characteristics of rubber bearings. Besides, the tensile stiffness and deformation models are proposed by several researchers by quite different methods. Proper models are recommended for nonlinear deformation state in order to propose the tensile model and build up base data.
