Emergence of a Pseudoelastic Hysteresis -- Crystallization of Rubber -- Historical Notes.Experiments with rubber balloons and rubber sheets have led to surprising observations, some of them hitherto unknown or not previously described in the literature. In balloons, these phenomena are due to the non-monotonic pressure-radius characteristic which makes balloons a subject of interest to physicists engaged in stability studies. Here is a situation in which symmetry breaking and hysteresis may be studied analytically, because the stress-stretch relations of rubber - and its non-convex free energy - can be determined explicitly from the kinetic theory of rubber and from non-linear elasticity. Since rubber elasticity and the elasticity of gases are both entropy-induced, a rubber balloon represents a compromise between the entropic tendency of a gas to expand and the entropic tendency of rubber to contract. Thus rubber and rubber balloons furnish instructive paradigms of thermodynamics. This monograph treats the subject at a level appropriate for post-graduate studies.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;637Continuum physicsAmorphous substancesComplex fluidsEngineeringMechanicsMechanics, AppliedClassical and Continuum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P2100XSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021Engineering, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T00004Solid Mechanicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010Continuum physics.Amorphous substances.Complex fluids.Engineering.Mechanics.Mechanics, Applied.Classical and Continuum Physics.Soft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics.Engineering, general.Solid Mechanics.531/.382Müller Ingoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut57575Strehlow Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK996466797203316Rubber and rubber balloons1106716UNISA
