Constitutive modeling of the Mullins effect and cyclic stress softening in filled elastomers.
The large strain behavior of filled rubbers is characterized by the strong Mullins effect, permanent set, and induced anisotropy. Strain controlled cyclic tests also exhibit a pronounced hysteresis as a strain rate independent phenomenon. Prediction of these inelastic features in elastomers is an important challenge with immense industrial and technological relevance. In the present paper, a mi...
متن کاملStress–softening and recovery of elastomers
A constitutive model is developed for the mechanical response of elastomers at finite strains. A polymer is treated as a network of linear chains linked by permanent (chemical crosslinks) and temporary (entanglements and van der Waals forces) junctions. Temporary junctions are assumed to be in two states: loose (passive) when they impose only topological constrains on available configurations o...
متن کاملRate Dependent Constitutive Equations of Cyclic Softening
Constitutive equations of cyclic strain and stress softening for materials with low internal stress levels are derived from the rate theory. The study shows that over the high stress and low temperature range where the description of plastic flow in cyclic softening can be approximated with activation over a single energy barrier, cyclic strain softening is well related to stress relaxation pro...
متن کاملObservations of the Constitutive Response and Characterization of Filled Natural Rubber Under Monotonic and Cyclic Multiaxial Stress States
This work explores the monotonic and cyclic behaviors of filled, natural rubber. Results of stress-strain experiments conducted under stress states of simple, planar, and equibiaxial tension are presented. The ability of hyperelastic models to capture the observed response, as well as recent developments in constitutive modeling of filled rubber such as the consequences of the Mullins effect, a...
متن کاملExperimental clues of soft glassy rheology in strained filled elastomers
Tensile stress-relaxation measurements have been performed on a series of cross-linked filled elastomers. The fillers are chosen in order to investigate the effect of the filler-filler and the filler-matrix interactions on the time dependence of the tensile relaxation modulus after UP and DOWN jumps. For the carbon black filled sample (strong filler-elastomer interaction) decreases as log(t) wh...
