A criterion of tensile failure in terms of energy density and energy loss at break has been developed for several gum rubbers over a wide range of test temperature. A similar description of failure in filled rubbers is related to the gum criterion by a simple elastic interaction term. The upper and lower limits of the failure equation are considered in detail, and the relationships of energy density at break with temperature and ultimate strain are also discussed.
