They are made of many thin alternate layers or laminations of metal and rubber (elastomer) bonded together to form a stack. The laminations may be in the form of flat or conical or hemispherical shapes, or may be curved to form a cylinder or other shape. Lateral motions between successive metal layers are permitted by shearing action within and parallel to the intervening rubber layers.
