Experimental characterization and modeling of the mechanical behavior of filled rubbers under cyclic loading conditions

Rubber-like materials are submitted to cyclic loading conditions in various applications. Fillers are always incorporated within rubber compounds. They improve the mechanical properties but induce a significant stress-softening under cyclic loadings. The physical source of the softening is not yet e...
