Abstract

Rubber is used extensively in many industries because of its large reversible elastic deformation, excellent damping and energy absorption characteristics, and wide availability. Therefore it becomes very important to evaluate fracture characteristics of rubber. Tearing energy and J-integral have been used as fracture parameters of rubber. The J-integral values for pure shear and single edge specimen are calculated by finite element analysis and compare with theoretical values. Finite element analysis is performed by ABAQUS.
