Fatigue, Stress, and Strain of Rubber Components
Bauman, Judson T. This text emphasizes the mechanical behavior of elastomers. It discusses the molecular and micro configuration of the rubber matrix and how they produce the observed mechanical behavior.
The fatigue testing of specimens, curve fitting of equations to the test data, and the use of such equations in life prediction are covered compehensively. Stress-strain testing and behavior are covered to the extent relevant to fatigue analysis. Also, the ...
