Abstract Mooney's shearing disk viscometer is one of the most important analytical research and process control instruments for elastomers. In this paper a new method is developed for computing the shear stress and shear rate of materials from data obtained on this instrument. In addition, the non-linear viscoelastic behavior of elastomers in the viscometer is analyzed with special emphasis upon normal stress effects. Experimental data for natural rubber, SBR, and polyisobutylene are discussed.

In this work, the rheological behavior of uncured natural rubber with different initial moisture contents dried by microwave was studied using RPA under frequency sweep and strain sweep modes. It can be seen from the results that the variation trend of viscous torque S`` versus sweep frequency kept with the trend of elastic torque S` versus sweep frequency. Moreover, the viscous torque S`` values were lower than those for elastic torque S`, a good linear relation curve was obtained by plotting elastic torque S` versus sweep frequency. The curve of storage shear modulus G` versus sweep strain presented a linear relationship, showed a linear viscoelastic behavior of uncured natural rubber with different initial moisture contents. This may be explained by the degradation of molecular chains of natural rubber and the van der waals forces between them.

Relaxation Responses

Pressurized vessels that transfer media from one location to another often contain a bolted connection. Gaskets are essential for these systems since they confer high levels of leak mitigation across of range of operating environments (i.e., internal pressure and temperature). The balance of both sealability and compressibility must be displayed in candidate gasket materials to be subjected to aggressive operating conditions. Historically, thin gauge gasket (i.e., 1/16” thick) confer high sealability while thick gaskets offer superior compressibility (i.e., 1/8”). Fabricated with skive cut, ceramic particle-reinforced PTFE, these materials display linear viscoelastic behavior that allow consolidation to occur. For example, GYLON® 3504 is filled with Aluminosilicate Microspheres, GYLON®3510 is filled with barium sulfate, respectively, to efficiently fill crevices along the surfaces of the flange. Novel textured PTFE gasket (3504 EPX and 3510 EPX) have been developed to simultaneously confer sealability and compressibility compared to flat products. A design of experiments (DoE) approach is applied to characterize the factors that influence load relaxation responses of the both candidate textured PTFE (dual-face honeycomb) and existing (flat) gasket styles. Using an instrumented test platform analyzed. A new parameter is presented to quantify gasket efficiency. The collection of efficiency measurement methods and approach to re-torque optimization convey a novel framework that designers can invoke to facilitate improved flange performance.

Abstract This study investigated the structural response of granular and asphaltic overlayment of rail track considering the linear viscoelastic behavior of asphalt. The calculation of the tensile strains at the bottom of the asphalt layer, the compressive stresses at the top of the subgrade layer, and the service life of the granular and the asphaltic overlayment rail track were conducted using the KENTRACK software. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis by changing different factors was studied in this paper. The results of this study indicate that the asphaltic overlayment rail track structure has a much longer predicted service life than the granular rail track. It was also shown that the sub-grade compressive stress is more sensitive to the change in subgrade modulus than the change in ballast-sub-ballast-asphalt layer thickness and the change in binder type, respectively. In addition, the asphalt tensile strain is more sensitive to the change in asphalt layer thickness than the change in subgrade modulus and the change in binder type, respectively. These findings also enhance our understanding that subgrade compressive stress and asphalt tensile strain in the asphaltic overlayment track are more sensitive to the change in asphalt layer thickness than the change in binder type.
