Crystallization requires the suppression of molecular mobility, which in natural rubber can happen either by reducing the temperature or by increasing the strain. Crystallization of... Continue reading
There is an ongoing drive to create synthetic rubber that can give mechanical performance matching the properties of natural rubber (NR) – excellent strength, tear... Continue reading
Endurica CL and fe-safe/Rubber provide several material models for defining cyclic crack growth under nonrelaxing conditions. Nonrelaxing cycles occur when the ratio R is greater... Continue reading
