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

A New Tire Cord Adhesion Test
TL;DR: In this article, a new tire cord adhesion test is reported for measuring adhesion of rubber to tire cord, which is applicable to any cord or wire-reinforced composite, for example, rubber hose or belting.

Strength under various modes of deformation
C. W. Extrand,A. N. Gent +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the breaking stresses and strains for sheets of a brittle elastic material, a highly crosslinked polyisoprene rubber, under three different modes of deformation: simple tension, pure shear, and equi-biaxial extension.

Poroelastic effects on steady state crack growth in polymer gels under plane stress
TL;DR: In this paper, a linear poroelastic formulation for polymer gels, including the asymptotic crack-tip fields and finite element simulations of steady-state crack growth in long strip specimens, has been used to study the rate-dependent fracture process of polymer Gels.

Time-dependent autohesion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between polymeric structure and time-dependent autohesion, measured in terms of autohesive fracture energy, using the method of reduced variables, and found that G a data as a function of contact time and temperature could be superposed into master curves of temperature-reduced contact times.

Effect of silane coupling agent on the fatigue crack propagation of silica-filled natural rubber
TL;DR: Based on the real-time crack tip morphology monitoring, the influence of silane coupling agent (SCA) on the crack-growth behavior of silica-filled natural rubber (NR) was analyzed.

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.

R. S. Rivlin,D. W. Saunders +1 more
TL;DR: Load-deformation measurements on a number of natural rubber vulcanizates covering a wide range of hardness are reported in this paper, where the mean chain segment lengths obtained from swelling measurements are given.
