Abstract

A series of experiments were conducted at two crosshead rates (2.5. mm/min and 12.7 mm/min) and three temperatures (165°F, 72°F, and −65°F) on edge cracked sheet specimens. The specimens were made from polybutadiene rubber embedded with hard particles. The effects of crosshead rate and temperature on the strain fields and local fracture behavior near the crack tip were investigated and the results are discussed.
