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

Fracture in sheets draped on curved surfaces
TL;DR: This work constrained flat elastic sheets to adopt fixed curvature profiles and found that the curvature-induced stresses are independent of material parameters for isotropic, brittle media and apply across scales.

Multiaxial deformation and strain-induced crystallization around a fatigue crack in natural rubber
Pierre Rublon,Bertrand Huneau,Erwan Verron,Nicolas Saintier,Stéphanie Beurrot,Adrien Leygue,Cristian Mocuta,Dominique Thiaudière,Daniel Berghezan +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental set-up that couples synchrotron radiation with a homemade mechanical fatigue machine is developed to investigate both strain-induced crystallization and deformation multiaxiality around fatigue cracks in natural rubber.

Mapping the nonlinear crack tip deformation field in soft elastomer with a particle tracking method
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the fields of displacement and deformation gradient around the tip of a Mode-I crack in a soft silicone elastomer, which can be used to measure the crack growth resistance behavior and the rate-dependence of fracture toughness for soft materials with highly blunted cracks.

Influences of different dimensional carbon-based nanofillers on fracture and fatigue resistance of natural rubber composites
Bin Dong,Liqun Zhang,Youping Wu +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture and fatigue resistance of natural rubber (NR) filled with different dimensional carbon-based fillers including zero-dimensional spherical carbon black (CB), one-dimensional fibrous carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and two-dimensional planar graphene oxide (GO) were explored.

Tough porous nanocomposite hydrogel for water treatment
TL;DR: In this article, a one-step strategy was proposed to synthesize tough porous nanocomposite hydrogel, by introducing biochar nanoparticles and interconnected pores into a polyacrylamide hydrogels matrix as an exemplary system.

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.
