Abstract For a gum elastomer in its amorphous, isotropic state, shear modulus and tensile modulus are related with a factor of three. This relation is maintained in the range of temperature and time scale defining the rubbery region of the material behavior. When a large deformation is imposed, for example, in tensile stress—strain measurements, the above relation may still be preserved, if the nonlinear behavior can be linearized. The strain—time correspondence principle is the linearization scheme of this work. When a gum elastomer contains various structural constraints, the factor three relation does not apply, even after the application of the above linearization scheme. Example of constraints are excessive amounts of long branches, gel, molecular associations, and reinforcing fillers. These constraints usually make the factor larger than three. This is because the constraints make the large, elongational deformation more difficult to achieve compared to shear deformation. An example of gum elastomer in this work is a polyethylacrylate containing a significant amount of gel. With this polymer, both the presence of gel and the molecular association act as the constraints. However, when 50 phr of carbon blacks are added, the fillers do not act as strong constraints as they do when they are in the diene rubbers. This is because the polyethylacrylate is known to have a weaker affinity to carbon black compared to the diene rubbers. Triblock copolymers, styrene—isoprene—styrene, were examined according to the above treatment; 25% polystyrene copolymer exhibited crosslink-like behavior by the polystyrene domains. However, 14% polystyrene copolymers acted as if they are no crosslinks. When these copolymers are diluted to 44% with an addition of 56% tackifier, the ratio of tensile to shear modulus became less than three. The styrene domains must have effective crosslinks at the small shear deformation, but at large tensile deformations such crosslinks must not be present.

Using Data

Abstract The dynamic viscoelastic properties of four samples of butadiene—acrylonitrile raw elastomers, were obtained with a Rheovibron at 110 Hz and temperature range of −80 to 160°C. The complex properties were in agreement with the master curves obtained previously from stress-strain measurements. A master curve encompassing 13 decades of time was constructed using data from Mooney rheometer shear stress-strain, MTS high speed tensile stress-strain, and the Rheovibron. The master curve represents the rubbery region of viscoelastic behavior in terms of time, temperature, and the magnitude of deformation up to the breaking point. This study demonstrates that corresponding states can be found between small (ca. 1 per cent) and large deformation up to break (e.g., 1400 per cent).

Abstract This work is based on data previously obtained by the tensile stress-strain and dynamic-shear measurements with several gum rubbers and carbon-black-filled compounds. The gum rubbers were three NBR's of different molecular architecture and two SBR's, one of which was oil extended. The compounds contained 40 phr of N550 carbon black. Through the data treatment procedure developed in this work, the strain amplifications in the dynamic shear and tensile stress-strain measurements were evaluated with the uncrosslinked compounds. Each compound showed a unique pattern of strain amplification.

Abstract The anisotropy induced in an ungelled SBR elastomer upon large scale deformation and the rate at which the deformed elastomer returns to its original state upon removal of the deforming force were investigated. In these experiments, a standard birefringence technique was unsuitable for measuring the extent of orientation after release, however, tensile stress-strain measurements successfully showed the presence of anisotropy. After prestraining and then releasing, samples have an initial resistance to deformation which is the same both parallel and perpendicular to the prestraining direction. However, testpieces cut parallel with the prestraining direction show stress-strain curves that lie above those for cross-cut specimens at high elongations, while cross-cut samples have stress-strain curves remarkably similar to those of the isotropic controls. With increasing time after prestraining or for larger prestrains, the normalized anisotropy, at intermediate elongations, becomes negative; that is, in this region, it becomes easier to deform “parallel” specimens than to deform “perpendicular” specimens. This phenomenon is proposed to be the result of two opposing entanglement networks—an original one, which remains in tension, and a compressed one, which was formed by chains re-entangling while the sample was extended. Although the shapes of the “parallel” and “perpendicular” stress-strain curves may be quite different, the total energy required to rupture the samples in both cases is similar. Finally, for a lightly crosslinked sample, it is demonstrated that after various prestrains, hold times, and relaxation times before testing after prestraining, the normalized anisotropy is a unique function of the residual extension at the moment when the specimens were tested.

Strain Model

Glulam bamboo has been preliminarily explored for use as a structural building material, and its stress–strain model under axial loading has a fundamental role in the analysis of bamboo components. To study the tension and compression behaviour of glulam bamboo, the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo as two kinds of typical glulam bamboo materials were tested under axial loading. Their mechanical behaviour and failure modes were investigated. The results showed that the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo have similar failure modes. For tensile failure, bamboo fibres were ruptured with sawtooth failure surfaces shown as brittle failure; for compression failure, the two modes of compression are buckling and compression shear failure. The stress–strain relationship curves of the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo are also similar. The tensile stress–strain curves showed a linear relationship, and the compressive stress–strain curves can be divided into three stages: elastic, elastoplastic and post-yield. Based on the test results, the stress–strain model was proposed for glulam bamboo, in which a linear equation was used to describe the tensile stress–strain relationship and the Richard–Abbott model was employed to model the compressive stress–strain relationship. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental curves.

This paper presents the results of direct tensile tests performed on six different FRCM (fabric reinforced cementitious matrix) strengthening systems used for masonry structures. The emphasis was placed on the determination of the mechanical parameters of each tested system and a comparison of their tensile behaviour in terms of first crack stress, ultimate stress, ultimate strain, cracking pattern, failure mode and idealised tensile stress-strain curve. In addition to the basic mechanical tensile parameters, accidental load eccentricities, matrix tensile strengths, and matrix modules of elasticity were estimated. The results of the tests showed that the tensile behaviour of FRCM composites strongly depends on the parameters of the constituent materials (matrix and fabric). In the tests, tensile failure of reinforcement and fibre slippage within the matrix were observed. The presented research showed that the accidental eccentricities did not substantially affect the obtained results and that the more slender the specimen used, the more consistent the obtained results. The analysis based on a rule of mixtures showed that the direct tensile to flexural tensile strength ratio of the matrixes used in the test was 0.2 to 0.4. Finally, the tensile stress–strain relationship for the tested FRCMs was idealised by a bi- or tri-linear curve.

Abstract Purpose To assess corneal stiffening of standard (S-CXL) and accelerated (A-CXL) cross-linking protocols by dynamic corneal response parameters and corneal bending stiffness (Kc[mean/linear]) derived from Corvis (CVS) Scheimpflug-based tonometry. These investigations were validated by corneal tensile stiffness (K[ts]), derived from stress-strain extensometry in ex vivo porcine eyes. Methods Seventy-two fresh-enucleated and de-epithelized porcine eyes were soaked in 0.1% riboflavin solution including 10% dextran for 10 min. The eyes were separated into four groups: controls (n = 18), S-CXL (intensity in mW/cm2*time in min; 3*30) (n = 18), A-CXL (9*10) (n = 18), and A-CXL (18*5) (n = 18), respectively. CXL was performed using CCL Vario. CVS measurements were performed on all eyes. Subsequently, corneal strips were extracted by a double-bladed scalpel and used for stress-strain measurements. K[ts] was calculated from a force-displacement curve. Mean corneal stiffness (Kc[mean]) and constant corneal stiffness (Kc[linear]) were calculated from raw CVS data. Results In CVS, biomechanical effects of cross-linking were shown to have a significantly decreased deflection amplitude as well as integrated radius, an increased IOP, and SP A1 (P < 0.05). Kc[mean]/Kc[linear] were significantly increased after CXL (P < 0.05). In the range from 2 to 6% strain, K[ts] was significantly higher in S-CXL (3*30) compared to A-CXL (9*10), A-CXL (18*5), and controls (P < 0.05). At 8% to 10% strain, all protocols induced a higher stiffness than controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion Several CVS parameters and Kc[mean] as well as Kc[linear] verify corneal stiffening effect after CXL on porcine eyes. S-CXL seems to have a higher tendency of stiffening than A-CXL protocols have, which was demonstrated by Scheimpflug-based tonometry and stress-strain extensometry.
