Amplitude-Temperature Analysis of Hard Rubber by Torsional Vibration

This paper deals with an experimental analysis of hard rubber dynamic tests under finite torsion deformations. The experimental test rig was designed and composed for torsion loading of rubber under defined amplitudes, frequencies and temperatures. The present paper brings an amplitude-temperature analysis of isoprene-butadiene rubber ascertained by the use of the test rig. The mathematical rheological model of rubber was designed for phenomenological description and parametric identification of rubber.
