An experimental method to evaluate the crack growth rate in rubber compounds under mixed mode loading is presented. This method for measuring fatigue crack growth resistance of compounds for truck tire applications yields results that are comparable in ranking to field tests.Abstract
Keywords: rubber compounds; fatigue crack growth; mixed mode loading
