Abstract
AbstractIn a previous paper a two‐network model for an elastomer in which crosslinks have been introduced in the strained state, similar to that proposed by Green and Tobolsky, was used to calculate the dependence of the incipient characteristic tearing energy on the number of chain segments in each of the two networks, the number of links in these chain segments, and the deformation at which the crosslinking takes place. The tearing energies were calculated for tearing on planes perpendicular to the principal directions of this deformation. Here the calculations are extended to cover tearing on a plane with arbitrary orientation.
