Abstract The term dynamic properties as applied to elastomers refers to the response to periodic or transient forces which do not cause failure or appreciable fatigue (permanent change of properties) during the investigation. Generally this is limited to vulcanizates subjected to deformations not exceeding about 25%; and generally the dynamic properties are measured after several cycles or (in a transient experiment such as resilience) after several preconditioning transients, so that the Mullins effect or difference between first and second strain cycles is not of consequence. Thus, dynamic properties represent the viscoelastic properties of vulcanizates at deformations below about 25%, after reaching a pseudo-equilibrium state. The dynamic properties of rubber are altered tremendously by the addition of a filler. The scope of this article is restricted to the dynamic properties of rubber vulcanizates with carbon black as a filler. The effect covered in this article are important in designing rubber compounds to be used under dynamic conditions, such as tires, power transmission belts, vibration isolation mountings, etc. However, the engineering application of dynamic properties, which has been treated in detail elsewhere, is outside the scope of this review. A certain amount of background material is needed. We will first define the terms used in describing dynamic properties. The methods and instruments used for measuring these properties will be described briefly, and the nature of carbon black will be reviewed. Finally, some historical material is given, together with the dynamic behavior of typical compounds, as a preface to the review of more recent work in this field.

Abstract The performance and life of power transmission belts has been investigated by a number of research groups over the past decade or so. Most studies have been directed at a particular problem with or application of belting technology, with synchronous and V-ribbed belts generating the most research activity. This paper reviews contemporary studies on the performance and failure of synchronous and V-ribbed belts to develop an overall picture of how the understanding of belt materials, mechanics, and failure mechanisms has progressed in recent years. The studies which have moved the understanding of belt behavior furthest forward have been those which sought, through an improved understanding of how a belt acts as a composite, to integrate the various strands of materials, mechanics and failure analysis knowledge available to give a clear and coherent picture of how a belt works and fails, although none of the studies seen so far can claim to have accomplished this completely.
