The hollow batten rubber stern bearing is a new style stern bearing with circular through-holes on head face, for which the stress and strain distribution of rubber batten is changed, and the mechanical property is improvedThe influence of various circular hole numbers, radius and arrangement modes on the mechanical property of hollow batten rubber stern bearing was researched by applying finite element analysis method.The results show that the max stress and strain of hollow batten stern bearings are increased with the increasing of circular hole radius, and 4 or 5 circular holes are appropriate for hollow batten bearings.The stress and strain distribution of hollow batten stern bearings is more reasonable by adopting the arrangement styles that the above row holes on the hollow batten are designed with less and smaller diameter, while the low row holes are designed more and larger diameter.
