The remarkable ductility and enhanced toughness of metal−ligand-based hydrogels caused by physical cross-links that improve their mechanical properties have proven the efficacy of hydrogels in various engineering applications. Here, we bring the first comprehensive investigation of hydrogels under bulge testing. The multiaxial response of these mat...
The natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) based composites are used in several industrial applications, mainly tires. The mechanical properties can be tailored by blending them in appropriate ratios. In the present study, blended polymer–matrix composites are tested for uniaxial and bulge tests. Simultaneous constitutive modeling w...
Natural rubber-based composites have proven efficacy as candidate materials for heavy-duty tire tread. The mechanical properties of these composites depend on the type of filler and their loading; thus, a comparative investigation of material properties was carried out in this study for carbon black and silica-filled natural rubber composites. The...
The evolution of fracture mechanics and its application for elastomeric matrix composites are briefly discussed. We begin with the studies on development of classical fracture mechanics and review the efforts made over decades to quantify governing parameters and theories pertaining to elastomeric composites' failure. The advancement in experimenta...
The ability of morphing aircraft to adapt their shape in flight hinges on the incredible flexibility of their skins,
which have multiple degrees of freedom. This paper presents a compact overview of the latest advancements
in polymorphing skins for morphing aircraft, focusing on polymeric skins, electroactive polymers, and shape
memory polymers. It...
The endeavour of producing a green tyre tread compound with high silica loading is still a daunting task for all tyre industries globally. The presence of non-rubber constituents, i.e. protein and phospholipid in natural rubber (NR), disrupts the silanization reaction in the silica-filled NR composite. To get rid of that vital issue, an optimized q...
Extrusion is one of the most efficient and widely used methods for producing long elastomeric profiles, particularly for automotive industries. These include mono-component glass run,co-extrudate, multi-component, metal-reinforced rubber, and cellular elastomeric profiles. Die swell and the interface disturbance between the fluids creates additiona...
Excellent tire wear resistance, wet grip resistance, and rolling resistance have made silica-filled green elastomeric composites suitable for an electric vehicle to lower fuel consumption. The study of damage mechanics of such materials has to be carried out in order to maximize safety during their usage. Accordingly, we aim to develop a damage mod...
Co-extrusion is one of the most effective processes for manufacturing long polymeric profiles with two textures with different constituent rubber compound’s inherent properties. Typically, two rubber compounds are amalgamated with each other to construct hard and soft surfaces. This study investigates the die swell characteristics while extruding t...
In this article, Mode-I fracture and nanomechanical deformation of elastomeric composites are studied using nonlinear fracture mechanics implicating computer modeling techniques like finite element analysis, and the models developed are verified experimentally. The effect of low notch-to-width ratios (NWR) on failure properties like J-integral, geo...
The contribution of carbon black (CB) on changes in cross-link density and physical entanglement has been quantified by swelling and uniaxial stress–strain measurements considering Mooney–Rivlin parameters. Solution SBR (SSBR) vulcanizates with varying content of high abrasion furnace (HAF) CB were studied. Rubber–filler networks increase the cross...
Triaxial state of stress experienced by structural components due to complex geometry, discontinuities, or type of loading can be studied by tensile testing of notched specimens. Herein, assessment of tensile deformation of 316LN austenitic stainless under the uniaxial and triaxial stresses is presented based on finite element (FE) analysis and dig...
Silica loading is varied in carbon black filled solution styrene butadiene rubber (SSBR) to form a hybrid system. The mechanical properties of this system are determined by performing the tension and compression tests. The silica addition exhibited excellent mechanical properties up to an optimized loading after that degradation in mechanical prope...
This study is focused on numerical investigation on fracture behaviors of carbon black (CB) and silica filled elastomeric composites. Finite element analysis (FEA) in compliance with multi-specimen method is used to calculate J-integral and geometry factor of the rubber composites up to a displacement of 20 mm for single edge notch in tension (SENT...
Extrusion is one of the most useful processes for making long rubber product profiles. The profile deforms while extruding due to swelling based on the geometry of the die, thermal and rheological properties of the material, and predominantly on the thermal and rheological boundary conditions. In this work, it is attempted to develop a possible str...
Abstract:
The finite element method (FEM) has evolved as an emerging trend in exploring mechanical behavior of variety of materials. Metals and Polymers are two important materials which are mostly used in day-to-day life and have become very essential part of human life. In this study, the use of FEM is elaborated mainly focusing on Metal (9Cr-1Mo...
In this investigation, effect of triaxial state of stress on tensile behavior of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel has been studied. In order to introduce different triaxial states of stresses, circumferential notches of different notch root radii were incorporated in the smooth specimens. The tensile tests were conducted at room temperature and at a strain r...
