Abstract
The principal problem of the rubber technologist and engineer today is that of applying the various types of synthetic rubber to products which undergo rapid repeated flexure. All commercially available synthetic rubbers possess a greater hysteresis defect than does natural rubber. Hence, the task of designing a product such as a large truck tire, where heat development has been no small problem even with natural rubber, is much more difficult. Consequently, the accompanying problem of evaluating the hysteretic properties of rubberlike materials has assumed new importance.
