Elastomer biaxial characterization using bubble inflation technique. I: Experimental investigations

Résumé

The biaxial rheological behavior of materials such as elastomers or polymers can be obtained using a bubble-inflation-technique. A circular membrane is clamped at the rim and expanded under gas pressure. The inflation of the circular membrane is recorded using a CCD video camera and the blowing pressure by a pressure sensor. Then, from elongation and curvature radius measurements at the pole of the bubble, one can deduce equibiaxial stress-strain data. This study describes the optimization of a bubble-inflation rheometer. The most sensitive point of the technique is the estimation of the elongation at the bubble pole, deduced from video camera measurements. A direct measurement of the bubble thickness was performed using a magnetic probe in order to validate rheometer results. Such a validation has evidently never been carried out before. Results of quasi-static equibiaxial characterization of elastomers are presented and analyzed.
