Characterisation of the Deformation and Fracture Behaviour of Elastomers Under Biaxial Deformation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Deformation and Fracture Behaviour of Polymer Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 247))

Abstract

A new biaxial testing machine from COESFELD is presented, which enables essential new and more comprehensive opportunities for non-destructive and fracture mechanical testing of elastomers, mainly under dynamical load. Some possible applications are described in detail.
