The viscoelastic properties of rubber under a complex loading

This thesis aims to explore the effect of pre-strain on the viscoelastic behaviour of rubber materials. There are various conflicting theories in the literature regarding the strain dependence and resulting anisotropy of the viscoelastic behaviour. This thesis seeks to measure the behaviour and to s...
