Mesoscopic simulation of dynamic crack propagation in rubber materials
Tear fatigue analyzer (TFA) tests on rubber are simulated, for the first time, with a combination of a mesoscopic model of self-similar crack propagation and a complex viscoelastic rubber model (flow-enhanced linear standard solid). In this way, it is possible to establish interconnections between mechanical fracturing tests (TFA) and intrinsic material properties.
