Calculation and Experimental Study of a Two-Way Reinforced Rubber-Cord Composite in Tension

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

A rubber-cord composite, reinforced in two directions with fibers of polyamide cord, under large tensile deformations is investigated based on calculations of a rubber-cord composite material and on tensile tests of specimens made of the casing of a diagonal truck tire. A method of the experimental tensile testing of rubber-cord composite specimens is described. The calculations are based on the carcass theory of composite materials. The calculated and experimental parameters of the macroscopic strains of the rubber tire cord and of its structure in a deformed configuration are given. The manifestation of edge effects in relation to the reinforcement angle is described.
