Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Elastomer (Rubber) Straight Rod under the Tension
摘要
Theoretical and experimental studies of tension of a rod with rectangular cross-section made of elastomeric material were carried out. The stress-strain state in the rod was homogeneous. Under the assumption, that true axial strains in transverse directions are proportional to true axial strain in longitudinal direction, based on geometric pattern of deformation by introducing two Poisson’s ratios for transversely isotropic material, exact analytical dependencies were obtained. They relate linking engineering (nominal) normal stress recorded in experiments with calculated true normal stress in rod cross-section, true axial strain, measured in experiments with calculated volumetric strain and true measures of shear strains with axes rotated by
