Thermodynamics of strain-induced crystallization in filled natural rubber under uni- and biaxial loadings, Part II: Physically-based constitutive theory

To understand thoroughly the strain-induced crystallization in natural rubbers, conventional mechanical measurements are inadequate because they only provide a macroscopic relation between stress and strain. In this second part, a physically-based constitutive model for filled natural rubbers is coupled with the infrared thermography-based quantitative surface calorimetry (Part I) to shed new light on multiaxiality of strain-induced...
