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

Scanning electron microscopy studies on mechanism of tear fracture of styrene-butadiene rubber
D. K. Setua,Sadhan K. De +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of reinforcement fillers on the performance of styrene-buatadiene rubber (SBR) vulcanizates has been studied with respect to the following parameters: (a) the nature of cross-links (flexible sulphur (-Sx-) type and rigid carbon-carbon (-C-C-) type); (b) the impact of reinforcement filler, ISAF carbon black (N 220) in both cross-linking systems; and (c) the effects of crosslink density in the case of sulphur-cured

A multiaxial criterion for crack nucleation in rubber
TL;DR: In this paper, a multiaxial fracture criterion for rubber-like materials is proposed, assuming that elastomers are subjected to a uniform distribution of intrinsic flaws, the framework of Eshelbian mechanics is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fracture mechanics study of the fatigue of rubber in compression
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between crack growth rate dc/dN and T appears to be a material property, independent of testpiece geometry, and the tearing energy, T is substantially independent of crack length.

Phase-locked constructing dynamic supramolecular ionic conductive elastomers with superior toughness, autonomous self-healing and recyclability
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed an ionic conductor design, dynamic supramolecular ionic conductive elastomers (DSICE), via phase-locked strategy, wherein locking soft phase polyether backbone conducts lithium-ion (Li + ) transport and the combination of dynamic disulfide metathesis and stronger supramolescular quadruple hydrogen bonds in the hard domains contributes to the self-healing capacity and mechanical versatility.

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.
