Nonlinear Elasticity: experimental results and finite element modeling of hard neoprene elastomer failure
Failure in hard neoprene can be a very serious occurrence in industry. Since the material is resistant to oils, it is a popular choice for O-rings and hoses for use in fuel and oil lines. Notable elastomer failures include that of the Challenger space shuttle's O-rings and the (TM)Firestone ti...
