Information on design and application of rubber components is an essential part of a general engineering education, along with the study of other materials, so that the new engineer can make intelligent design choices. Without this knowledge, the engineer will be dependent on the rubber manufacturer or supplier for product design and technical information. This book is intended to meet the need for such information. .

This second edition of Engineering with Rubber contains updated and revised textual material and many new problems that deal with specific issues and allow the reader to test their understanding of the materials. Questions are appended to nearly every chapter-this feature is especially useful for students and those new to the field. .

This book deals with some basic principles on which successful use of rubber depends:

1. How is an elastomer chosen and a formulation developed?

2. Why is rubber highly elastic and relatively strong?

3. How can one estimate the stiffness, strength, and durability of rubber products? .

These questions face any engineer who wishes to understand the principles of designing rubber components. This book is intended to teach beginning engineers the principles of rubber science and technology. .

About the Author .

Dr. Alan N. Gent holds a distinguished chair at The University of Akron, where his is the Dr. Harold A. Morton Professor of Polymer Physics and Polymer Engineering. He has been the recipient of a number of awards during his long career, including the NASA Public Service Medal in 1988; the George Stafford Whitby Award from the ACS Rubber Division in 1987; and the 3M Excellence in Adhesion Science Award from the Adhesion Society in 1987. .

Gent has published over 180 scientific papers, book chapters, and review articles on rubber and plastics materials, and is a coholder of two British patents and one U.S. patent. .

A particularly significant activity that Alan undertook in recent years was his service on the National Research Council& 8217;s panel, which provided oversight to the space-shuttle solid-rocket booster redesign after the disastrous Challenger explosion. Gent was awarded the NASA Public Service Medal for his contributions. Since the rocket booster problem focused on the rubber seals in the segmented case joint, it is particularly noteworthy that he was the only rubber scientist on the panel. .
