Thermomechanical effects associated with crystallization of rubber under stretch and during slow extension
Article Abstract:
Stress relaxation is observed in a natural rubber sample which crystallizes after stretching, resulting in a stress lower than that of fully amorphous rubber prior to crystallization. A study looks into the difference between crystallization during or after stretching, using a thermodynamic model, capturing the thermomechanical effects of crystallization in natural rubber.

Visco-hyperelastic model for filled rubbers used in vibration isolation
Article Abstract:
The cyclic behaviour of filled rubbers used in vibration isolation at different frequencies is reported, using a form of the free-energy function consistent with additive stress decomposition. The model for the elasticity of rubber follows classical models, expanded to include compressibility. The capability of the model was tested using simple shear experiments.
