Using Exponential Cubic Splines to Predict Low Temperature Behavior of Elastomeric Materials
Keyword(s):
Abstract Because of their desirable elastic and energy absorbing properties, elastomeric materials have been widely used as shock mounts and pressure seals. The high sensitivity of the elastic modulus of these materials to changes in temperature has been a source of considerable difficulty to the development of robust design methods based on analytical techniques. This paper presents a simple analytical method for predicting the elastic modulus for a group of five different types of elastomers when used at low temperatures. The method is based on the application of exponential cubic spline curves to smooth experimental data. The method is applied to experimental data from the literature to illustrate its usefulness.
