EPDM experimental data

[Phinehas]

I am working on a model that included EPDM o-rings. I am hoping to find some data, either experimental or material model constants, that is available so that we do not have to run our own tests. If anyone has data that they are able to share please let me know.
Thanks

If you go to page 621 of the book in this link it has some data, but I don't see the formulation listed. If you want to have any confidence in your model you probably will have to test the actual material you are using.

Hi DanStro
Can you suggest what kind of test is to be done using the actual material.........

Sorry I can't. I didn't require extreme accuracy so the data from the book I found on googlebooks was enough for my applications.

Sorry.
