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

Flaw-sensitivity of a tough hydrogel under monotonic and cyclic loads
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the rupture of a tough hydrogel, using samples with and without initial cuts, under monotonic and cyclic loads, and find that when the initial cut is long, the endurance stretch decreases with the initial cutting length.

Rupture analysis of rubber in the presence of a sharp V-shape notch under pure mode-I loading
TL;DR: In this paper, the rupture behavior of styrene-butadiene (SBR) rubbers in the presence of a V-shape notch is investigated both experimentally and theoretically, and good agreement exists between the predictions of the ASED criterion and the experimental results obtained for SBR.

TL;DR: Compared to precipitated silica Composites, in-situ derived silica composites offer better abrasion behavior and improved crack propagation with and without admixture of silane coupling agents.

Urushiol-derived non-silane coupling agent
Xuesong Yan,Gary R. Hamed,Li Jia +2 more
TL;DR: Sulfur was chemically incorporated into urushiol in one step to afford an oligomeric sulfurized URushiol (SU) as discussed by the authors, which performs better when added in situ into the rubber compound than when used to pre-modify silica.

Tearing Energy as Fracture Mechanical Quantity for Elastomers
TL;DR: In this paper, a global energy balance of elastomeric cracks is used to characterize the energy required for an infinitesimal increase in surface area during crack propagation, and the application of advanced experimental methods characterizing the stages of crack initiation, propagation and wear under more practical loading conditions is reviewed.

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.
