Abstract

The performance of elastomeric engineering components generally depends on their having the correct force-deformation behaviour. This can only be achieved if the stress-strain behaviour of the elastomer is appropriate and well characterised. This is taken to include the effects of frequency and hysteresis as well as the quasi-static elastic behaviour. Extreme temperatures oils and oxygen may alter the stress-strain behaviour of the elastomer either reversibly or irreversibly and hence degrade the performance of the component or even result in its failure. The constraints these considerations make on the choice of compound are briefly described. Even if the properties of the elastomer do not deteriorate the component may fail by rupture of the elastomer. The theoretical framework for describing such failure is briefly presented and its implications for component design and choice of compound mentioned.
