Characteristic Tearing Energy and Fatigue Crack Propagation of Filled Natural Rubber

Below the incipient characteristic tearing energy (<i>T</i><sub>0</sub>), cracks will not grow in rubber under fatigue loading. Hence, determination of the characteristic tearing energy <i>T</i><sub>0</sub> is very important in the rubber industry. A r...
