Abstract It is shown that Hatschek's formula for the stress-elongation curve of rubber—better known as Ariano's formula—does not hold for normally vulcanized rubber. The observation has been made that the stress-elongation curves of natural and synthetic rubbers follow nonrectangular hyperbolae closely and practically up to the point of rupture. The axes of symmetry of these hyperbolae make angles of about 40° with the stress-axis in the case of pure-gum mixtures and about 30° for carbon black mixtures. A general formula has been derived which holds for all the rubbers investigated.

A new stress-strain relation capable of reproducing the entire stress-strain range of typical soil tests is presented. The new relation involves a total of five parameters, four of which can be inferred directly from typical test data. The fifth parameter is a fitting parameter with a relatively narrow range. The capabilities of the new relation is demonstrated by the application to various clay and sand data sets.

Abstract A differential stress-strain relation is derived for a medium composed of a face-centered cubic array of elastic spheres in contact. The stress-strain relation is based on the theory of elastic bodies in contact, and includes the effects of both normal and tangential components of contact forces. A description is given of an experiment performed as a test of the contact theories and the differential stress-strain relation derived from them. The experiment consists of a determination of wave velocities and the accompanying rates of energy dissipation in granular bars composed of face-centered cubic arrays of spheres. Experimental results indicate a close agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of wave velocity. However, as in previous experiments with single contacts, the rate of energy dissipation is found to be proportional to the square of the maximum tangential contact force rather than to the cube, as predicted by the theory for small amplitudes.
