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

Influence of the filler type on the rupture behavior of filled elastomers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the rupture behavior of elastomers filled with carbon black (CB) or silica, and found that a weak interface between the silica and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) promotes better rupture properties.

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.
