AbstractMost concepts to characterize crack propagation were developed for elastic materials. When applying these methods to elastomers, the question is how the inherent energy dissipation of the material affects the cracking behavior. This contribution presents a numerical analysis of crack growth in natural rubber taking energy dissipation due to the visco-elastic material behavior into account. For this purpose, experimental tests were first carried out under different load conditions to parameterize a Prony series as well as a Bergström–Boyce model with the results. The parameterized Prony series was then used to perform numerical investigations with respect to the cracking behavior. Using the FE-software system ANSYS and the concept of material forces, the influence and proportion of the dissipative components were discussed.

Abstract. The volumetric and surface growth of continuum solid bodies is considered, in the framework of the thermodynamics of open systems exchanging mass, work and chemical species (nutrients) with their environment. More specifically, we address the issue of setting up extremum principles for such growing bodies. A general three-field variational principle is set up, based on the so-called zero potential, which is a byproduct of the grand potential. The stationnarity conditions of those potentials deliver balance laws for generalized volumetric and surface Eshelby tensors, leading further to the identification of the material forces for growth.
