R. S. Rivlin,A. G. Thomas +1 more
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

The fracture and fatigue of composite structures
M.E. Waddoups,J.C. Halpin +1 more
TL;DR: Both the fracture and lifetime characteristics observed indicate a need for a change in rational for the design of composite structures.

Analytical and experimental investigation of puncture-cut resistance of soft membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, a model describing the combined puncture and cutting of soft membranes is developed using force distribution analysis and basic concepts of fracture mechanics, which is used to determine the relationship between FP/C and the total puncture-cutting energy, GTotal.

On the lifetime prediction of rolling lobe air springs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the fatigue life of rolling lobe air springs made from cord-rubber composites with particular focus on the crack nucleation approach and showed that the crack growth approach seems to slightly overpredict the fatigue lives.

Effect of Carbon Black on Microcellular Behavior of Ethylene-Octene Copolymer Vulcanizates
TL;DR: In this paper, the morphology of the microcellular EOC of both unfilled and conducting carbon black (Ensaco 250G) filled compounds with different blowing agent and carbon black loading was studied using SEM photomicrographs.

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.
