A concept of polymeric networks with sliding junctions for the time-dependent response of filled elastomers
Aleksey D. Drozdov, Al Dorfmann
Constitutive equations are derived for the time-dependent behavior of particle-reinforced elastomers at isothermal loading with finite strains. A rubbery polymer is modelled as a n…
Finite viscoelasticity of filled rubbers: experiments and numerical simulation
Aleksey D. Drozdov, Al Dorfmann
Constitutive equations are derived for the viscoelastic behavior of particle-reinforced rubbers at isothermal loading with finite strains. A filled rubber is thought of as a compos…
Stress-softening and recovery of elastomers
Aleksey D. Drozdov, Al Dorfmann
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 cros…
The Payne effect for particle-reinforced elastomers
Aleksey D. Drozdov, Al Dorfmann
The study deals with the Payne effect (a substantial decrease in the storage modulus of a particle-reinforced elastomer with an increase in the amplitude of mechanical oscillations…
The effect of temperature on the viscoelastic response of rubbery polymers at finite strains
Aleksey D. Drozdov, Al Dorfmann
Constitutive equations are derived for the viscoelastic response of rubbery polymers at finite strains. A polymer is thought of as a network of long chains connected to temporary j…
