Test parameter sensitivity of the Lake-Yeoh cutting method for measurement of intrinsic strength of rubber Open
The intrinsic strength of rubber, T 0 is one of the key parameters when describing fracture behaviour of elastomer because it is at this specific value of energy that crack growth initiates within loaded rubber material. The Coesfeld Intri…

A MICROSCOPY INVESTIGATION OF RUBBER COMPOUND CRACK PRECURSORS AND TENSILE FRACTURE SURFACES Open
Tensile stress–strain testing is used to investigate the fracture behavior of carbon black–reinforced styrene–butadiene rubber, using 50 replicate specimens. Four vulcanized rubber compounds are studied: a CB-filled SBR with standard mixin…

A Hybrid Physics-Based, Data-Driven Approach to Model Damage Accumulation in Corrosion of Polymeric Adhesives Open
The degradation of polymeric adhesives in dissimilar joints is a menace to electric and structural components of the automotive industry. In polymeric adhesives, failure often occurs due to damage accumulated from discrete environmental so…

Heat Build-Up and Rolling Resistance Analysis of a Solid Tire: Experimental Observation and Numerical Simulation with Thermo-Mechanical Coupling Method Open
The hysteresis of rubber materials due to deformation and viscoelasticity is the main reason for the heat build-up (HBU) and rolling resistance (RR) of the rolling tire. It is important to realize the high precision prediction of HBU and R…

Incremental, Critical Plane Analysis of Standing Wave Development, Self-Heating, and Fatigue during Regulatory High-Speed Tire Testing Protocols Open
Tire speed ratings derive from regulatory testing in which tire structural integrity is validated over a series of steps with successively increasing speed. For the FMVSS 139 high-speed standard, there are four half-hour duration speed ste…

Characterizing Distributions of Tensile Strength and Crack Precursor Size to Evaluate Filler Dispersion Effects and Reliability of Rubber Open
Undispersed filler agglomerates or other substantial inclusions/contaminants in rubber can act as large crack precursors that reduce the strength and fatigue lifetime of the material. To demonstrate this, we use tensile strength (stress at…
