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 method to determine the R-curve of flexible materials using a monotonic loading of a single trouser tear specimen
C. R. Joe,Byung-Sun Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the locus line of crack initiation points on load-displacement curves of specimens which differ only in initial crack length to determine the R-curve of flexible materials.

Mode-I fatigue crack growth analysis of V-ribbed belts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a predictive fatigue crack growth model for belt rib material and computational fracture mechanics analysis for V-ribbed belts to predict fatigue life, which is critical to the life of automotive serpentine belts, due to propagation of initially small flaws in the elastomer located in the belt rib.

Evaluation of asymptotic stress field around a crack tip for Neo–Hookean hyperelastic materials
J. H. Chang,J.F. Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two pairs of contour integrals are proposed for the near-tip asymptotic stress field in plane Neo-Hookean hyperelastic media and the relationship between these integrals and the stress parameters is 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.

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.
