Shear Rubber Fender

Introdcution:

Shear fender is different from other fenders due to its linear load-deflection characteristic in shear. However, it remains stiff in compression to support heavy loads. It is often used as the conjunction of piles and front panels. In this way, the fender system is provided capacity to withstand large shear forces. Chains and other mechanical stops are used to limit its movement to prevent overload. In this fender system, to avoid erosion from water, extra rubber materials are also used to protect the steel frame involved.
