Abstract: Abstract A typical measure for the toughness of highly stretchable materials is the energy for tearing, determined in mode I fracture tests on wide specimens with a lateral cut. In the present paper we show… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Elastomers composites are viscoelastic materials and show a complex behaviour due to their non-linear response to external load, characterised in general by energy dissipation, residual set and material softening. For production reasons defects like… read more here.
