Mechanical behaviors of non-orthogonal fabric rubber seal

In this paper, the mechanical behaviors of non-orthogonal reticulated fabric reinforced rubber composite and its complex fabric rubber seal are investigated. First, a non-orthogonal constitutive model is developed to characterize the mechanical behaviors of reticulated fabric rubber composites, which considers the energy contributions of matrix, fiber and fiber–matrix interaction. Second, the constitutive constants of rubber, reticulated fabric...
