To Ben and the other engineers. What is the durometer of the urathane that andersen is using? Do you know the specifics? A modeling program without those factors are bogus in my opinion.
Durometer is a measure of a material's "hardness" -- IOW, a measure of resistance to permanent deformation. As you probably are aware, urethanes have a wide range of hardness values.
Durometer is not the same as the stress-strain relationship (a.k.a. "spring rate").
I attempted to address the spring rate question back on page 24 in
this post.
