Abstract

Frequency-sweep tests at various temperatures were conducted to study the asymmetric dynamic response of carbon black (CB) filled rubber. The master curves of storage modulus were constructed by use of time-temperature superposition (TTS), and the dynamic response of the material over a wide range of frequencies covering about 20 decades exhibits asymmetry. Based on the experimental results, the fractional Zener model and Prony series are verified to be unsuitable to reproduce the dynamicviscoelastic behavior. Therefore, a modified model by adding a spring-pot into the fractional Zener model is presented. The applicability of the modified model in describing the dynamic behavior of the CB-filled rubber is validated by the experimental results.
