Fatigue and Fracture of Elastomeric Matrix Nanocomposites

Abstract

This paper is a review of what was done in our laboratory by several PHD students (Lu Chuming, K. Legorju, S. Dong) in order to have a better understanding and prediction of the mechanical behaviour and of the damage of elastomeric matrix used for rubber composites. Both, monotonic and cyclic loadings are of interest.
