Abstract

The Mooney-Rivlin elastic constant C1 is used as a measure of the physically effective crosslink density in an elastic network and has been related to the chemical crosslink density of natural rubber vulcanisates via the Moore-Mullins- Watson calibration. The constant is derived from measurement of force in simple extension and has in the past involved experimental determination of an initial length of the sample. An alternative approach of using an empirical fitting procedure for the assignment of initial length is described and is shown to be applicable to Mooney-Rivlin analysis of stress-strain data obtained from an automated tensile testing machine.
