A study into initiation, evolution and propagation of cracks in elastomeric vulcanisates under dynamic loading using mechanical and analytical methods

Crack initiation and growth in rubber vulcanisates is a major problem when rubber is repeatedly stressed in service. Often, micro-cracks exist in rubber because of mold damage or dust particles which mix with rubber compound during various stages of processing. These imperfections act as crack initi...
