Download or read book Constitutive Models for Rubber VI written by Gert Heinrich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in order to represent the material behaviour of filler-reinforced elastomers under realistic operating conditions are collected in this volume. Special topics are finite element simulations and methods, dynamic material properties, experimental characterization, lifetime prediction, friction, multiphysics and biomechanics, reinforcement, ageing, fracture and fatigue as well as micro- and macromechanical approaches. Constitutive Models for Rubber VI is of interest to research and development engineers in the industry, and to postgraduates and researchers in all disciplines of engineering and materials science.
