[SY-H6] On the modeling and calculation of tensile properties of real rubber using molecular dynamics simulation
A molecular dynamics approach to calculate general tensile properties of real rubber is developed to alleviate lengthy experimental procedures for the determination of the strain energy function of the rubber material. In this presentation, first, the general framework for the calculation of tensile properties of rubber using molecular dynamics simulation will be illustrated. The overview on the molecular modeling for the real rubber is followed and some pilot calculations are performed to obtain the tensile properties for carbon black filled styrene-butadiene rubbers.
