- Abstract
- The cutting behavior of elastomers by a sharp object was investigated using various elastomers such as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and natural rubber (NR). The effects of crosslinking density, cutting rate, and temperature on the cutting energy of elastomers were investigated. The cutting behavior of swollen elastomers was also investigated. It was found that the cutting energy increased as the molecular weight between crosslinks increased. It was also found that the cutting energies of various elastomers did not yield a single line. Moreover, even in the threshold condition of cutting process, the cutting energy was much higher than the threshold fracture energy. These results suggest that the cutting behavior cannot be explained by only a C-C bond rupture process, but it includes other energy dissipation processes. The curves for cutting energies obtained at different cutting rates and temperatures were well superimposed on a single master curve when they were shifted using the WLF (Williams, Landel, and Ferry) equation. Therefore, it is supposed that the cutting of elastomers by a sharp object includes viscoelastic energy dissipation process and is the viscoelastic behavior. It was also found that the variation of cutting energy over a considerable range;of effective rates was smaller than that of the tear energy. It is attributed to the fact that the change of the crack tip diameter, i.e., roughening or reduction, was restricted by the diameter of razor blade. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
