In the product guide for "sorbothane", found here - http://www.sorbothane.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/11-26-12-Sorbothane_SPG_11.2012_v4.pdf
They claim that a 0.50"-by-4" square of sorbothane of durometer 70 can withstand a load of up to 2000 lbs. Now, I plan to use this for shock absorbence - what does this mean about the impact the sorbothane can withstand? Is there a way to calculate how much energy or force is not absorbed by the sorbothane from this info, considering a 150-lb load applied and a given input of force?
