Molecular and Mechanical Behavior of Elastomers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Etzel, A. J.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1986
Describes an experiment in which stretching a rubber band can be used to compare the statistical theory of rubber elasticity with its continuum mechanics counterpart. Employs the use of the equation of the state of rubber elasticity and the Mooney-Rivlin equation. (TW)
