What is Critical Tearing Energy in a Circumferentially-cracked Circular Cylinder of Rubber Under Finite Deformation about?

In this paper the circumferentially-cracked cylindrical (CCC) specimen is subjected to both asymptotic and finite element analyses to determine its suitability for measuring the critical tearing energy, Tc of rubber-like materials. When deformed axially, these specimens produce uniform radial crack deformation and extension along the circular crack front. The local/pointwise value of tearing energy along the crack front is also uniform and therefore identical to the tearing energy magnitude obtained by global measurement techniques such as the compliance method. Application of the CCC specimen is illustrated on a non-crystallizing rubber (SBR). Experimental results and non-linear finite element analysis are used to show that the CCC specimen yields a constant value of Tc which is statistically independent of crack depth and the two sizes of the specimen used in the experiments. The CCC specimen represents an improvement over pre-cracked thin sheet specimens used for measuring Tc where it has been demonstrated (see Mazich, et al. [2]), that crack extension along the crack front is pointwise non-uniform resulting in a globally measured value for critical tearing energy that is very d
