A Nonmonotonous Damage Model to Characterize Mullins and Residual Strain Effects of Rubber Strings Subjected to Transverse Vibrations

Figure 2

Normalized frequency ratio experimental data of silicone elastomer cords plotted versus the normalized strain intensity ratio for which [21]. The specimen Shore A hardness reported by the manufacturer is with a density of gr/cm3. Here the color dots represent the experimental data and the dashed lines represent theoretical results obtained from (8) and (9).
