Calculating compression of cylindrical bushing.

[CR100]

I was curious if someone can direct me in the right direction. I am looking to predict the amount of compression/displacement of automotive cylindrical rubber bushing versus the load applied. The load of course would be applied as a radial force from the center sleeve towards the outside of the bushing.

Thanks in advance.

You can use finite element method to analyse problem because it is nonlinear problem . You can't use the analytical method to solve this problem.
