Rubber cord adhesion inflation test: Effect of constitutive rubber model on evaluation of G

The Rubber Cord Adhesion Inflation Test (RCAIT) is a recently proposed test protocol to study tyre rubber-steel cord fracture (Kane et al., 2019). As in the traditional blister test, pressurised fluid injected between two adherends propagate fracture. energy, Gc, directly related strain energy stored inflated rubber. It was shown that evaluation of Gc for RCAIT depends intimately on how well hyperelastic model capable predicting rubber inflation condition 2020). Here, thick tube generalised, phenomenological, material. subsequently applied order which data processing technique likely be most reliable evaluate critical release rate specimen.
