- Abstract
Abstract: Because rubber compounds are widely used under cyclic loading conditions, such as tire applications, their fatigue behaviour has been studied for a long time. Two main stages are commonly considered in studying rubber fatigue: crack nucleation and crack growth. Not many studies exist on the residual strength of rubber subsequent to fatigue loading. In this study, the residual strength method is used to model fatigue behaviour of carbon black‐filled and silica‐filled styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds. Samples are subjected to repeated fatigue loading (ie, nonzero mean stress) using different strain amplitudes and then subjected to uniaxial constant crosshead rate, relaxation, and creep tests to assess their residual strength and viscoelastic behaviours respectively. The residual strength results are compared with typical S‐N curves. Initial relaxation rates, initial creep rates, asymptotic relaxation values, and secondary creep rates are plotted as functions of fatigue cycle number to understand the viscoelastic behaviours of carbon black and silica‐filled SBR compounds as affected by fatigue processes.
