A constitutive equation for the Mullins effect in stress controlled uniaxial extension experiments

A one-dimensional constitutive equation for the Mullins effect in rubberlike materials, which is motivated by the two phase microstructural material model proposed by Mullins and Tobin [I], is developed in [2]. The constitutive equation is used in [2] to predict the effect of stress softening on the small transverse vibration of a rubber string loaded in uniaxial extension. The two functions which comprise the constitutive equation were assumed to be monotone, but no further analysis of the actual nature of these functions was necessary.In this paper, we examine more closely how the results of a stress controlled uniaxial extension experiment can be used to gain insight into the specific nature of the microstructural strain and the strain amplification functions which comprise the constitutive equation. We examine experimental representations of the two functions which are independent of any special microstructural interpretations. Stress controlled uniaxial extension experiments with buna-n, neoprene, and silicone rubber cords are examined. We demonstrate how the experimental data can be applied to yield representations of the functions of interest to within a multiplicative constant; but no attempt is made to find specific analytical representations of these functions. For buna-n and neoprene samples, we observe behavior consistent with our monotone assumptions, while anomalous behavior is observed with silicone rubber.     

A constitutive equation for filled rubber under cyclic loading

This paper describes experiments and the development of constitutive equations to predict the steady-state response of filled rubber under cyclic loading. An MTS servo-hydraulic machine was used to obtain the dynamic hysteresis curves for a filled rubber compound in uniaxial tension-compression. The material tests were performed with mean strains from −0.1 to 0.1, strain amplitudes ranging from 0.02 to 0.1, and strain rates between 0.01 and 10 s⁻¹. Temporary material set, the Payne effect and rate-dependence were observed from the experimental results. A hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model was developed to characterize the dynamic response of the rubber. A cornerstone of this constitutive modeling was to devise a scheme to evaluate material set and a finite strain, non-linear viscoelastic law from the test data. Predictions of the dynamic hysteresis curves using the proposed constitutive equation were found to be in good agreement with the uniaxial test results.     

Constitutive modeling of particle reinforced rubber-like materials

The present study is focused on the constitutive modeling for the mechanical behavior of rubber reinforced with filler particles. A filler-dependent energy density function is proposed with all the continuum mechanics-based necessities of an effective hyperelastic material model. The proposed invariant-based energy function comprises a single set of material parameters for a material subjected to several modes of loading conditions. The model solution agrees well with existing experimental results. Later, the effect of varying concentrations of filler particles in the rubber matrix is also studied.

Sensitivity analysis of tire-ice friction coefficient as affected by tire rubber compound properties

Previous studies show that the material properties of the rubber are among the most important factors when designing a tire. In this study, we investigated the effects of different rubber properties on tire performance on ice. A theoretical model that incorporates these tire material properties was developed. The model was used to estimate the height of the water film generated due to friction and the friction coefficient for both, dry and wet regions at the tire-ice contact patch. After validating the results using experimentally collected data, the model was used to perform a sensitivity analysis on the tire performance with respect to six material properties of the tread rubber: thermal conductivity, rubber density, Young’s modulus, specific heat, roughness parameter of the rubber, and radii of spherical asperities of the rubber. To study the effect of each parameter, the desired material property was varied within a specific range while the other parameters were kept constant. The results from this study show the sensitivity of the magnitude of the friction coefficient to the rubber material properties. The friction coefficient has a direct relationship with the density of the rubber and has an inverse relationship with Young’s modulus, specific heat, and roughness parameter.     

Heuristic search for a predictive strain-energy function in nonlinear elasticity

In this work, a new, quasi-structural model – bootstrapped eight-chain model – is proposed as a modification to the strain energy of eight-chain model [Arruda, E.M., Boyce, M.C., 1993. A three-dimensional constitutive model for the large stretch behaviour of rubber elastic materials. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 41, 389—412] that invokes the Langevin chain statistics. This development has been led to by our heuristic search into how the strain energy of eight-chain model may be adapted in order to account better for the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric materials in both linear and nonlinear elastic regimes [Treloar, L.R.G., 1944. Stress–strain data for vulcanised rubber under various types of deformation. Trans. Faraday Soc. 40, 59–70]. The eight-chain model appears to produce very similar results in predicting biaxial stress to those of a first stretch-invariant model that gives a good fit in uniaxial extension and, thus, it is shown that the former can not be significantly enhanced within the limitation of the latter. Evaluation of predictive capability for an additive invariant-separated form of strain energy shows that an explicit inclusion of a second stretch-invariant function would not work and that any thus added term ought to be dependent on both the first and second stretch-invariants of deformation tensor, and hints that an improvement is possibly needed at low strain. The composite and filament models [Miroshnychenko, D., Green, W.A., Turner, D.M., 2005. Composite and filament models for the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric materials. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 53 (4), 748–770] have their strain-energy functions in that suggested form and cope very well with predicting the experimental data of Treloar (1944). We use the form of strain energy for the filament model, that proved to be successful, to bootstrap the strain energy of eight-chain model in order to improve the performance of the latter at low strain. Thus, we derive a new model – bootstrapped eight-chain model – that requires only two material parameters – a rubber modulus and a limiting chain extensibility. The proposed model is quasi-structural due to bootstrapping and it retains the best traits and corrects the faults of the eight-chain model, conforming more closely to the classical experimental data of Treloar (1944).     

The mullins effect in uniaxial extension and its influence on the transverse vibration of a rubber string

This paper presents a study of the stress softening effect encountered in uniaxial extension and explores its effect on the small amplitude transverse vibration of a stretched rubber cord. An idealization of the uniaxial stressstrain behavior of a stress softening material is presented, the importance of the deformation history is emphasized, and parameters are introduced to track the deformation history. An extended investigation of a model proposed by Mullins and Tobin to quantify stress softening by introduction of a strain amplification factor is then presented. A major result derived from this model is shown to be consistent with results reported by others. The uniaxial stress softening theory is used to describe the transverse vibration behavior of a rubber string subjected to repeated stretching. This appears to be the first application of the softening model of Mullins and Tobin to a dynamical problem. Analytical results are compared with uniaxial stress-strain and transverse vibration experiments performed with buna-n, neoprene, and silicone rubber cords. Both types of experiments provide a simple and novel method to evaluate the predictive success of our uniaxial theory without the need for a specific constitutive model. The pseudoelastic response found in biological tissues is discussed in light of results obtained in the transverse vibration experiments.
