Crack Initiation, Wear and Molecular Structure of Filled Vulcanized Materials

  • Chapter
Deformation and Fracture Behaviour of Polymers

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

In their numerous areas of application, elastomer materials are subject to a number of complex wear factors. A typical example of this phenomenon is the abrasion of the tread of a tyre or the pattern of chipping and chunking damage observed under certain circumstances on truck tyre treads [1].
