Deflection s: The deflection s is

45、that deflection covered by the force application point during deformation of the elastomeric component under force F. It is determined in the direction of application of force F. Deflection sf: The deflections sf describes the change in position of the intersection of the force-deflection curve with

46、 the displacement axis between the 1st and the 3rd stress cycle, due to the flow characteristics of the elastomeric component. Deflection sh: The deflections sh shall indicate the positions on the displacement axis where the force-deflection curve intersects it of the first stress cycle Deflection s

47、v: The deflection sv is that deflection covered by the force application point in the direction of application of initial force Fv, when the elastomeric component is subjected to the initial force Fv Force Application Point: The force application point is the position on the moveable traverse of the

48、 universal testing machine taken as a point, to which the elastomeric component or the testing and clamping device is coupled. The force application point lies in the direction of application of force F and may be e.g., a screw thread, a pressure plate or a clamping head. Force F: The force F is the

49、 force to which the elastomeric component to be tested is subjected. Its value and direction of application are determined by the installation conditions of the elastomeric component. Force Fg: Force Fg shall be the limit of the force F applied to the elastomeric component. Force Fmax: The force Fmax is the ma
