Amorim Cork Solutions explores how cork–rubber rail pads outperform rubber in vibration control, stability, and railway noise ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

UBE Industries, Ltd. is a leading global manufacture of high-cis polybutadiene rubber using a cobalt catalyst. Since the early 70s, the company have been manufacturing UBEPOL in its plant in ...

It is difficult to take accurate measurements of the elastic modulus when it comes to thin films, because of what is called the substrate effect. In general, the depth of indentation is limited to 10% ...

Textile cords in a rubber matrix form a key class of composites, which are used in many different applications, including tires, hoses, shock isolators, and air springs, to name a few. Today’s ...

The modulus (indentation modulus) profiler was developed in 1987 by Gillen, Clough, and Quintana (Polymer Degradation and Stability 17 [1987] 31-47). The technique has a special resolution of about ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...
