This paper presents the results of tensile tests on viscoelastic films of two materials: a 100
pen bitumen and a commercial corn syrup. Experiments were performed using double …

The aim of this article was to evaluate and analyze the mechanical properties of bonded
elastomer discs subjected to triaxial stress on an MTS (machine for testing samples) …

This paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite-element methods applied to the
analysis and simulation of polymers. The bibliography at the end of the paper contains …

A unit cell of a specified shape under specified loading conditions has been investigated
under extension and compression to get insight into microstructural mechanisms controlling …

A unit cell of a specified shape under specified loading conditions has been offered for
predicting some basic properties of particulate polymeric composites. The stress–strain state …

The aim of this article is the analysis of fracture growth in media characterized by random
distribution of micro-failure mechanisms per unit volume. The deformation behavior of the …

Among the parameters affecting the overall material properties of porous media, the most
significant involve the micromechanical morphology, the matrix material behavior and the …

The aim of this article is to evaluate the axial stress of a thin cylindrical rubber specimen
bonded between two steel cylindrical plates. The thickness of the rubber with respect to its …

The experimental and theoretical investigation of the mechanical properties of an ethylene‐
propylene‐diene terpolymer (EPDM) elastomer reinforced with carbon black was examined …

The internal failure behavior of unfilled and silica filled Solution-Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber
(SSBR) has been investigated with respect to cavity formation and growth during tensile …
