To　analyze　the　tension　performance　of　laminated　rubber　bearings　under　tensile　loading,　a　theoretical　tension　model　for　analyzing　the　rubber　bearings　is　proposed　based　on　the　theory　of　elasticity.　Applying　the　boundary　restraint　condition　and　the　assumption　of　incompressibility　of　the　rubber　(Poisson＇s　ratio　of　the　rubber　material　is　about　0.5　according　the　existing　research　results),　the　stress　and　deformation　expressions　for　the　tensile　rubber　layer　are　derived.　Based　on　the　derived　expressions,　the　stress　distribution　and　deformation　pattern　especially　for　the　deformation　shapers　of　the　free　edges　of　the　rubber　layer　are　analyzed　and　validated　with　the　numerical　results,　and　the　theory　of　cracking　energy　is　applied　to　analyze　the　distributions　of　prediction　cracking　energy　density　and　gradient　direction.　The　prediction　of　crack　initiation　and　crack　propagation　direction　of　the　rubber　layers　is　investigated.　The　analysis　results　show　that　the　stress　and　deformation　expressions　can　be　used　to　simulate　the　stress　distribution　and　deformation　pattern　of　the　rubber　layer　for　laminated　rubber　bearings　in　the　elastic　range,　and　the　crack　energy　method　of　predicting　failure　mechanism　are　feasible　according　to　the　experimental　phenomenon.
