A computer simulation of the loading of the rubber membrane by a spherical indenter is performed using a finite element analysis package. It is shown that in the complex stress state rubber based on crystallize rubber IR are significantly inferior in strength properties as in the absence and in the presence of stress concentrator to rubber based on amorphous rubber SBR, while in uniaxial tension they are superior. It is revealed that in the complex stress state, rubbers based on IR rubber filled with 40 parts by weight of carbon black N339 have low resistance to shear stresses, inferior to SBR and BR vulcanizates, which results in low strength properties of rubbers based on it in comparison with strength characteristics determined under uniaxial tension. An analysis of the strength properties of rubbers in the presence of a stress concentrator shows that in a complex stress state, rubbers based on amorphous SBR rubber have the maximum tear resistance, exceeding IR and BR vulcanizates by this indicator, respectively by ~ 4 and 2 times. Under uniaxial tension, the most important factor is the ability of the material to orientation hardening, due to the regularity of the rubber structure and the presence of reinforcing filler, and in the complex-stressed state, the most important factor is a density of the nodes of the fluctuation mesh from the point of view of strength properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
