Abstract

A method is given for calculating an average shear strain for inhomogeneous deformations of rubber. For non-linear rubbers it is proposed that the chord shear modulus at this strain is the appropriate value to insert into force-deformation formulae derived on the assumption of a strain-independent modulus. This idea is tested for measurements of the compression stiffness of bonded blocks and for hardness measurements. It results in a significant improvement in the accuracy of force-deformation calculations for filled (and hence non-linear) rubbers.
