Investigation of Temperature Fields of Rubber-Cord Shells of Rotation of Connected Couplings of the Drives of Transport Vehicles

The results of theoretical and experimental studies of rubber-cord shells of rotation of connected couplings are presented. Based on the heat balance equation and the law of distribution of tangential stresses along the forming cylindrical shell, the differential equations of temperature distribution in the rubber-cord and metal parts of the coupling are obtained. The values of the damping coefficients and torsional stiffness of the rubber cord shell are obtained.
