Fatigue crack growth dynamics in filled natural rubber
Résumé
We present fatigue experiments performed on filled natural rubber and study the correlations between crack growth dynamics and fracture morphologies imprinted by an irregular crack path. Slow crack growth dynamics is obtained by cyclic fatigue in a pure shear test. We will show that an unstable crack growth regime exists for high loads. We will also discuss the appearance of sawtooth striations which follow a scenario that significantly differs from previous results reported in the literature.
