Finite wave propagation in natural rubber
thesis
posted on 2018-07-31, 08:54 authored by Chong-Lian LimThis thesis describes a study of the dynamic behaviour of natural
rubber both under dynamic extension and retraction, in which the
dominant feature is the propagation of an extensional or unloading
wave of short duration in the specimen. For retraction, both a
high-speed photographic and an optical method of recording have been
used to observe the propagation of the wave. Finite waves propagate
without dispersion in the specimen for retractions from extensions
below 250%, while at higher extensions the wave disperses as it
propagates. [Continues.]
