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

Temperature dependent fatigue-failure analysis of V-ribbed serpentine belts
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of temperature on fatigue life of V-ribbed serpentine belts is investigated, and a predictive fatigue crack growth model to monitor progressive deterioration of initially small rib tip flaws subjected to thermal and mechanical loads is developed.

Exactly solvable model for a velocity jump observed in crack propagation in viscoelastic solids
Naoyuki Sakumichi,Ko Okumura +1 more
TL;DR: The physical origin of the velocity jump is elucidated: it emerges from a dynamic glass transition in the vicinity of the propagating crack tip, and is quantified together with slow- and fast-velocity regimes of crack propagation, which would stimulate the development of tough polymer materials.

Crack propagation at the interface between soft adhesives and model surfaces studied with a sticky wedge test
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the triple line motion during debonding of a soft viscoelastic adhesive from a rigid polymer surface, where the probe is constituted by a horizontal cylinder instead of a flat punch and the crack propagates in the elongated contact area between the cylinder and the flat surface.

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.
