A novel tensile stress relaxation test : development and applications to a study of non-rubber constituents and fillers in natural rubber

A novel tensile stress relaxation test has been developed. It measures the residual stress in slender specimens mounted on a simple test frame by creating a small bowstring-like movement and measuring the force required to do so. Unlike the commoner compression tests, it permits a high ratio of expo...
