Modelling the viscoelastic behavior of rubber for use in component design remains a
challenge. Most of the literature does not consider the typical regimes encountered by anti …

A layered double hydroxide (LDH) mineral filler particle has been designed and employed
in rubber vulcanization to prepare a more environmentally friendly rubber composite. The …

A novel physically based material model is presented that describes the complex stress-
strain behavior of filled rubbers under arbitrary deformation histories in a constitutive …

Abstract The Dynamic Flocculation Model (DFM) is a micro-structure based model of rubber
reinforcement which is developed on a physical framework to describe the non-linear and …

Even in a simple quasi-static loading, filled elastomers demonstrate distinct inelastic
phenomena, such as the Mullins effect, deformation induced anisotropy, permanent set …

The effects of pre-strain on compression mode dynamic characteristics of both isotropic and
aligned magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are experimentally investigated considering …

A physically motivated theory of rubber reinforcement based on filler cluster mechanics is
presented considering the mechanical behaviour of quasi-statically loaded elastomeric …

Elastomer components are often subjected to periodic loading conditions during service.
Elastomer parts are used because of their large extensibility and significant damping …

The surface activity of commercial and experimental carbon blacks varying in particle size
and primary aggregate structure was investigated with regard to surface roughness and …

This work focuses on the thermodynamics of pseudo-elastic material models which
represent the M ullins effect. Two established models are analyzed theoretically, their …
