The finite-element model and deformed profile of the sandwich mount with the load-deflection curve comparison. (a) The finite element model of the sandwich mount (green for rubber and white for metal). (b) The deformed profile of the sandwich mount at the vertical load 60 kN. (c) The comparison of the load-deflection curves between the simulation and the experiment for the sandwich mount.
