Help on Natural Rubber (55 pph CB)

[bonkers]

Hi,

We are working on a FEA model using strand 7 program. Based on the experimental data of natural rubber 55 pph CB, we have calculated the Mooney-Rivlin constants and applied them into our model.

1. Can anyone advise where we can obtain other similar experimental data to compare with this data?

2. Does anyone know the bending moduli of rubber ?

Best regards

1) There are many sources with experimental data for rubber. For example, Treloar's book has some classic data for the equilibrium behavior of rubbers.

2) Can you define "bending modulus"? I have never heard of that term...
