The blends based on natural rubber (NR) and cis-1, 4-polybutadiene rubber (BR) are the
most popular materials in rubber industry. As is well-known, the rubber blends suffer thermo …

Under environmental exposure, the mechanical properties of elastomers change due to
ageing, all while enduring mechanical service loading conditions. The influence of ageing …

In the tire industry, the Payne effect and hysteresis loss of carbon-black (CB) filled rubber
vulcanizates are the most concerning issues. CB filled rubber vulcanizates are susceptible …

In this paper, a simple model-free controller for electrically driven robot manipulators is
presented using function approximation techniques (FAT) such as Legendre polynomials …

In order to evaluate the deterioration characteristics during the lifeeyele of bridge rubber
bearing, a series of long—term accelerated exposure tests are performed on four kinds of …

The biofidelity of the Hybrid III headform in impact is largely dependent on local head
geometry and viscoelastic mechanical properties of its polymer skin. Accordingly, for …

Filled rubber-like materials show a significant dependence on predeformation, frequency
and amplitude when they are loaded with static predeformations superimposed by harmonic …

The presented work deals with the thermal ageing evaluation for polyester-reinforced and
polyvinyl chloride coated fabrics. The architectural fabric AF9032 was exposed to artificial …

The mechanical properties of rubber materials changes with the service time and the
material parameters have a corresponding relationship with the aging time. In this paper, an …

In this paper, the thermal ageing of nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) reinforced with different
graphene (GE) concentrations has been investigated. NBR and NBR-GE composites were …
