Effect of Cyclic Loading on Surface Instability of Silicone Rubber under Compression

Effect of Cyclic Loading on Surface Instability of Silicone Rubber under Compression

This work combines experiments and finite element simulations to study the effect of pre-imposed cyclic loading on surface instability of silicon rubber under compression. We first fabricate cuboid blocks of silicon rubber and pinch them cyclicly a few times. Then, an in-house apparatus is set to ap...
