Abstract

In this study, ie investigate the effect of biaxial deformation on ultimate sielling characterized by limiting chain extensibility of elastomers. Limiting chain extensibility is introduced into the Flory–Rehner theory. To obtain a single unified inequality, stretches are normalized using the material constant that accounts for limiting chain extensibility. Using the derived inequality, systematic analysis provides the ultimate values of sielling ratio under biaxial loading.
