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

Phase field modeling of fracture in rubbery and glassy polymers at finite thermo-viscoelastic deformations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive theoretical study of a phase field model of fracture and its application towards the modeling of crack initiation and growth in rubbery and glassy polymers at finite thermo-viscoelastic deformations.

Technical Material Diagnostics - Fracture Mechanics of Filled Elastomer Blends
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the structure on the mechanical and fracture mechanical properties of elastomeric materials has been investigated under quasi-static and impact-like loading conditions.

Compositional- and time-dependent dissipation, recovery and fracture toughness in hydrophobically reinforced hybrid hydrogels
TL;DR: In this article, compositional and time-dependent mechanical properties, recovery, and fracture toughness of hybrid gels having chemical and transient cross-links are systematically studied. But the results emphasize the role of the transient network and its responses under external loading in the design of next-generation tough gels.

A Tough Metal-Coordinated Elastomer: A Fatigue-Resistant, Notch-Insensitive Material with an Excellent Self-Healing Capacity.
TL;DR: Polyurethane-containing metal complexes were fabricated by introduction of a pyridine-containing ligand into polyurethanes, and subsequent coordination with Fe2+ , and the strong reversible coordination bond provides mechanical strength and self-healing ability.

Lifetime prediction of filled elastomers based on particle distribution and the J-integral evaluation
Mohammed El Yaagoubi,Daniel Juhre,Jens Meier,Nils Hendrik Kröger,Thomas Alshuth,Ulrich Giese +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the lifetime prediction of elastomer component based on the particle distribution in the specimen, the crack growth properties and the appropriate crack criterion, which can be very helpful in the development phase of a product.

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.
