Long term prediction of nonlinear viscoelastic creep behaviour of elastomers: extended Schapery model
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2009
Abstract
Herein we develop a creep test method for characterizing nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour of an elastomer through weak deformation. This approach is based on an expanded Schapery model. Short term creep tests at various stress levels were performed upon specimens composed of a synthetic elastomer. A method to predict the long term creep behaviour using short term creep tests is presented. Experimental results and theoretical predictions are compared.
