Abstract Finite element methods are applied for multilayer elastomeric bearings under large deformation. The method is capable of handling nonlinear elasticity and incompressibility of rubber-like materials. The strain energy density function which determines elastic properties of the materials is obtained empirically through strip biaxial testing. The computation using the strain energy density function is conducted to analyze the stress and strain distribution and the performance characteristics of multilayer elastomeric bearings, which is in good agreement with the results of actual experiments.
