TLDR
The resistance to tearing of a rubber vulcanizate is usually determined by loading in a specified manner a test-piece of the vulcanizer of standard shape, in which a notch has been produced, either in the molding process or by cutting the testpiece in a standard fashion.Abstract:
The resistance to tearing of a rubber vulcanizate is usually determined by loading in a specified manner a test-piece of the vulcanizate of standard shape, in which a notch has been produced, either in the molding process or by cutting the test-piece in a standard fashion. A wide variety of shapes of test-piece and notch and of methods of loading have been recommended by various authors (see, for example, Buist1).read more

Differential propensity of dissection along the aorta
TL;DR: In this article, the authors implemented a phase-field finite-element model of the aortic wall, motivated in part by two-photon imaging, and found correlative relations for the maximum pressure prior to tearing as a function of local geometry and material properties.

TL;DR: The evaluation of the structure at the crack tip and regions undergoing more uniform states of deformation is conducted by ex situ transmission electron microscopy and in situ environmental scanning electron microscope.

The fracture toughness of thin polymeric films
Bruce M. Klemann,Tad DeVilbiss +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fracture test using the single edge notch (SEN) geometry was developed for thin polymeric films, which is applicable to brittle films and films of moderate ductility.

Strength and Toughness
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been realized that some polymer fibres are among the stiffest and strongest materials known, and these properties are particularly impressive when the low densities of solid polymers are taken into account.

Analysis of stable crack propagation in filled rubber based on a global energy balance
Christiane Netzker,Thomas Horst,Thomas Horst,Katrin Reincke,Ronny Behnke,Michael Kaliske,Gert Heinrich,Gert Heinrich,Wolfgang Grellmann +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a global energy balance of two crack states under fixed loading conditions was used to evaluate the fracture sensitivity of filled rubber and showed that the measured fracture sensitivity is mainly related to the development and increase of a dissipative zone.

Large elastic deformations of isotropic materials IV. further developments of the general theory
TL;DR: In this article, the surface forces necessary to produce simple shear in a cuboid of either compressible or incompressible material and those required to generate simple torsion in a right-circular cylinder of incompressibly material are derived.

Large Elastic Deformations of Isotropic Materials. VII. Experiments on the Deformation of Rubber
R. S. Rivlin,D. W. Saunders +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the load-deformation curves obtained for certain simple types of deformation of vulcanized rubber test-pieces in terms of a single stored energy function can be interpreted on the basis of the theory of large elastic deformations of incompressible isotropic materials.

An analysis of the conditions for rupture due to griffith cracks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model in which the crack is bounded by the atoms centred on the planes z =±½a, these planes being the boundaries of two semi-infinite elastic solids.
