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

14. Esr Study of Polymer Fracture
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discussed the ESR study of polymer fracture and found that radicals observed during the tensile deformation are generated and trapped in the amorphous regions of the oriented polymer, whereas those formed by γ irradiation are present predominantly in the crystalline region.

Dissipative Heating, Fatigue and Fracture Behaviour of Rubber Under Multiaxial Loading
TL;DR: In this paper, different concepts to investigate the crack propagation in rubber materials are used, and most of them are based on the investigation of uniaxial loaded specimens and without taking into account the dissipative aspects of deformation.

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.
