Studying the non-Arrhenius behavior of rubber is crucial to ensure appropriate lifetime prediction and reduce ineffective acceleration experiments. In this paper, accelerated thermal aging from 70 °C to 130 °C is conducted on an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber and the tensile characteristics of the rubber are tested. Further, the popular Mooney-Rivlin equation is employed to analyze the influence of aging temperature and time on the effective crosslink densities. The enormous incr ...[more]
