The book summarizes recent international research and experimental
developments regarding fatigue crack growth investigations of
rubber materials. It shows the progress in fundamental as well as
advanced research of fracture investigation of rubber material
under fatigue loading conditions, especially from the experimental
point of view. However, some chapters will describe the progress in
numerical modeling and physical description of fracture mechanics
and cavitation phenomena in rubbers. Initiation and propagation of
cracks in rubber materials are dominant phenomena which determine
the lifetime of these soft rubber materials and, as a consequence,
the lifetime of the corresponding final rubber parts in various
fields of application. Recently, these phenomena became of great
scientific interest due to the development of new experimental
methods, concepts and models. Furthermore, crack phenomena have an
extraordinary impact on rubber wear and abrasion of automotive
tires; and understanding of crack initiation and growth in rubbers
will help to support the growthing number of activities and
worldwide efforts of reduction of tire wear losses and abrasion
based emissions.

This volume describes new insights into the main aspects of rubber
degradation by material's fatigue, wear and aging evolution, as
well as their impact on mechanical rubber properties. It provides a
thorough state-of-art explanation of the essential chemical,
physical and mechanical principles as well as practices of material
characterization for wear prediction, and to convey or define novel
strategies and procedures of planning effective wear test programs.
The initiating factors of abrasion, the development of surface
abrasion on sharp and blunt tracks (so called cutting and chipping)
and the influence of smear and lubricants is also summarized. The
volume is of interest to research scientists in related fields from
academia and industry.
