The thesis deals with fracture behaviour of rubber and methodology associated
with its characterization. Understanding particular mechanisms of fracture is
important in prediction of rubber compound performance under real loading
conditions and increase of rubber products service life. The theoretical part
summarizes published approaches used to characterize fracture behaviour of
rubber. In addition, a part of theoretical background is devoted to the analysis of
fatigue crack growth (FCG) and describes the effect of the structure and test
conditions. The experimental part focuses on the preparation of rubber compounds
based on natural rubber (NR), butadiene rubber (BR) and styrene butadiene rubber
(SBR) as well as combinations of them. Subsequently, rubber test specimens are
prepared for characterizing the fracture behaviour throughout their service life
under cyclic and static loading. Last but not least, functional prototype of device
for characterization of the fracture behaviour of stressed rubber in tension
simultaneously being penetrated by sharp object is introduced.
