Characteristic Length of Damage Localization in Rubber
Source abstract
Abstract
In this letter we calculate the characteristic length ~0.2 mm of natural rubber, which presents the width of a narrow zone where damage localizes initiating a crack. It is remarkable that our direct calculation is based on the results of the macroscopic experiments only.
