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

Experimental full field analysis for dynamic fracture of elastomer membranes
TL;DR: In this article, a two-camera set-up was proposed to perform digital image correlation during both quasi-static loading and dynamic fracture of the sample, and the variety of kinematic and energetic fields that can be computed is illustrated.

Failure analysis of carbon black filled styrene butadiene rubber under fatigue loading conditions
TL;DR: In this article, a carbon black-filled styrene butadiene rubber (CB-SBR) was investigated under fully relaxing loading conditions, where the crack tip grows following a tearing line by generating ligaments; it explains the differences between fatigue responses of crystallisable and non-crystallisable rubbers during crack propagation.

Measuring Effect of the Blooming of Chemical Curatives on the Rate of Cyclic Fatigue Crack Growth in Natural Rubber Filled with a Silanized Silica Nanofiller
TL;DR: In this paper, two rubber compounds with different amounts of chemical curatives were prepared by mixing natural rubber with a high loading of a sulfur-bearing silanized precipitated amorphous white silica nanofiller.

Roles of the Interphase Stiffness and Percolation on the Behavior of Solid Propellants
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of bonding agents on the stress and strain at break of propellants was analyzed using finite element simulations, including a cohesive zone model at the filler/matrix interface to account for debonding and an interphase that percolates.

Mixed-mode fracture in EPDM/SBR/nanoclay rubber composites: An experimental and theoretical investigation
TL;DR: In this article, a fracture analysis of rubber nanocomposites weakened by a crack and loaded in mixed-mode (I/II) condition is investigated in the current research for the first time.

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.

The free energy of deformation for vulcanized rubber
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.
