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

Equi-Biaxial Fatigue Behaviour of Magnetorheological Elastomers in Magnetic Fields
TL;DR: In this article, the fatigue life of magnetorheological elastomers in magnetic fields was higher than that without magnetic fields and the presence of magnetic fields resulted in longer times for the samples to undergo large deformations and thus complex modulus (E*) decreased at a slower rate during the fatigue process.

Influence of Thermal Ageing Process on the Crack Propagation of Rubber Used for Tire Application
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of thermal aging behavior of rubber compounds based on natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and their blend NR/SBR 60/40 on dynamic-mechanical and fatigue crack growth properties was investigated.

Universal relation between crack-growth dynamics and viscoelasticity in glass-rubber transition for filled elastomers
TL;DR: In this paper, a universal relation between exponents α and κ of the relaxation modulus G(t) √ t−κ in the glass-rubber transition regime, independently of the material parameters, was found for the elastomers with high filler contents or low crosslinker concentrations.

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.
