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…
