A thermodynamical conform for the curing coupling in elastomer at large strains

Abstract

In the framework of a two-component medium, the phenomenological approach is used to develop a system of constitutive equations describing the thermomechanical behavior of elastomers during curing. This model is designed to describe the stress-strain states in the temperature range comprising the intervals of phase and relaxation transitions at lage strains within a rigorous thermodinamical framework. The results of numerical experiments demonstrating the possibility of describing the characteristic properties of deformation processes typical of elastomers are given.
