Abstract: A method for improving fatigue resistance performance of a locomotive rubber-metal pad and the locomotive rubber-metal pad improve the fatigue resistance performance of the rubber-metal pad and prevent rubber and metal from being torn during running by changing a structure of the rubber and the metal of the rubber-metal pad and adjusting a shape and position relationship between the rubber and the metal. The shape and position relationship between the rubber and the metal is adjusted by adjusting thickness of a rubber layer between the rubber and the metal of the rubber-metal pad so that the rubber layer has variable thickness. A rubber layer diameter of each layer is a variable diameter by adjusting a size of the rubber layer diameter between the rubber and the metal of the rubber-metal pad.
