Popis: Aspects of the mechanical behavior of filled vulcanizates are reviewed with reference to existing mathematical models. The basic equations of the triboelastic theory, previously described by Turner, are derived. A standard triboelastic solid (STS) three parameter model, analogous to the standard linear solid, is described and a computationally efficient approximation developed. Comparisons are made between the predictions of the STS model and the behavior of testpieces of heavily filled natural rubber vulcanizates when subjected to simple and to complex deformation histories at various frequencies; the model is found to give a satisfactory representation of material behavior. Limitations of the STS model are also discussed.
