Abstract

Aim of this paper is to report the development of a new method for the analysis of dynamic crack propagation in filled rubbers by simultaneous tensile and pure shear mode testing. The development is based upon the mechanical redevelopment of the test machine 'Tear Fatigue Analyzer' (Fa. Coesfeld), upon the equipment of the test machine with new hardware, and the modification of the system for the crack length record. This machine is equipped with a simultaneously operating two mode test equipment which represents an extended fracture testing method. These two mode test allows the measurement of crack propagation on different rubber specimens simultaneously and under identical load. The data analysis allows a comparison between the two parallel running testing modes.
