ABSTRACT
Corrections are proposed to account for these differences during testing.
2 EXPERIMENTS
To illustrate the aforementioned effects, two filled tread rubber compounds (hereafter referred to as A and B) with different amounts of filler content were selected. The two compounds exhibit different extents of the Payne effect (as characterized by ∆G′ on a plot of G′ versus strain amplitude) and have differing loss properties but similar static (long term) moduli. The selection was made to investigate if the magnitude of Payne effect affects its recovery. Figure 1 shows the strain amplitude dependence for the two compounds.
