Application of Real-Time X-Ray Techniques to Monitor Damage Process in a Particulate Filled Elastomer

Abstract

The damage initiation and evolution processes in an edge-cracked sheet specimen subjected to a constant strain rate were investigated using real-time x-ray techniques, The specimens were made of a particulate composite material containing hard particles embedded in a rubber matrix. The x-ray data were analyzed and the results are discussed.
