The closed-form solutions to the compression stiffness of the laminated elastomeric bearings of infinite-strip shape with flexible reinforcements are derived. The effect of bulk compressibility in the elastic layer and the effect of boundary condition at the ends of the bearing are considered. Three types of the elastic layers bonded to flexible reinforcements are studied. The first type simulates the interior elastic layers of the bearings with shear-free ends. The second type simulates the exterior elastic layers of the free-end bearings. The third type simulates the elastic layers in the bearings which ends are bonded to rigid plates. The theoretical solutions to the compression stiffness of the bearings are extremely close to the results obtained by the finite element method, which proves that the displacement assumptions utilized in the theoretical derivation are reasonable.
