Description 1 online resource : text file, PDF Contents Invited papers -- Ageing -- Friction and abrasion -- Adhesion -- Swelling -- Continuum mechanical models and numerical implementation -- Hyperelasticity -- Micro-mechanical approaches -- Fracture, fatigue and lifetime prediction -- Mullins effect -- Strain induced crystallization -- Thermal effects -- Reinforcement and vulcanization -- Design and applications -- Magneto-sensitive, ionic and electro-active elastomers Summary Due to their unique properties, rubber materials are found in multiple engineering applications such as tires, engine mounts, shock absorbers, flexible joints, seals, etc. Nevertheless, the complex nature of the behavior of such material makes it difficult to accurately model and predict the performance of these units. The challenge to correctly reproduce the observed characteristics of rubber elements necessitates detailed experimental investigations, development of accurate constitutive models, validation of techniques to identify material parameters and efficient numerical methods. Aspects regarding fatigue and damage in elastomers are not to be left aside, as they influence the durability of the products. State-of-the-art technology in terms of constitutive modeling, numerical implementation, damage and fatigue resistance are strongly represented in these Proceedings, along with insights into advanced elastomers to be used in novel applications. Topics included in this volume are: Ageing, Friction and abrasion, Adhesion, Swelling, Continuum mechanical models and numerical implementation, Hyperelasticity, Micro-mechanical approaches, Fracture and fatigue, Mullins effect, Strain induced crystallization, Thermal effects, Reinforcement and vulcanization, Design and applications, Smart elastomers. Constitutive Models for Rubber VIII is of interest not only for undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and researchers in the discipline, but also for all those design and development engineers in the industry Notes "Proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Constitutive Models for Rubbers (ECCMR VIII), San Sebastiǹ, Spain, 25-28 June 2013."
