Due to their unique properties, rubber materials are found in
multiple engineering applications such as tires, engine mounts,
shock absorbers, flexible joints, seals, etc. Nevertheless, the
complex nature of the behavior of such material makes it difficult
to accurately model and predict the performance of these units. The
challenge to correctly reproduce the observed characteristics of
rubber elements necessitates detailed experimental investigations,
development of accurate constitutive models, validation of
techniques to identify material parameters and efficient numerical
methods. Aspects regarding fatigue and damage in elastomers are not
to be left aside, as they influence the durability of the products.
State-of-the-art technology in terms of constitutive modeling,
numerical implementation, damage and fatigue resistance are
strongly represented in these Proceedings, along with insights into
advanced elastomers to be used in novel applications. Topics
included in this volume are: Ageing, Friction and abrasion,
Adhesion, Swelling, Continuum mechanical models and numerical
implementation, Hyperelasticity, Micro-mechanical approaches,
Fracture and fatigue, Mullins effect, Strain induced
crystallization, Thermal effects, Reinforcement and vulcanization,
Design and applications, Smart elastomers. Constitutive Models for
Rubber VIII is of interest not only for undergraduates,
postgraduates, academics and researchers in the discipline, but
also for all those design and development engineers in the
industry.
