Notes:
The molecular bond rupture rate during ozone attack of torsionally loaded rubber was determined from electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. The rupture rate was successfully correlated by a Griffith-type energy balance to the strain-energy release rate in the samples. These observations substantiate the results from a similar study on tensile loading previously reported. In both cases there is a one-to-one correspondence between the rate of bond rupture (or crack growth) and the rate of energy release from the strain field and external work. A fracture energy, γn, of approximately 5×10-12 (±20%) ergs per free radical formed during the cracking was experimentally determined.
