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

Influence of osmolarity and hydration on the tear resistance of the human amniotic membrane
Kevin Bircher,Riccardo Merluzzi,Adam Wahlsten,Deborah Spiess,Ana Paula Simões-Wüst,Nicole Ochsenbein-Kölble,Roland Zimmermann,Jan Deprest,Edoardo Mazza,Edoardo Mazza +9 more
TL;DR: Fracture tests revealed that physiological variations in the bath osmolarity do not influence the tear resistance of amnion, while larger changes, i.e. from physiological saline solution to distilled water, lead to a significant reduction of the fracture toughness.

Effect of water on the strength of filled polychloroprene vulcanizates
TL;DR: In this article, three commercial rubber compounds used in marine applications were immersed in water or in 3.5% NaCl solution for up to 250 days, and the results were discussed in terms of osmotic swelling and extraction of rubber components.

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.
